Do all your operations inside the runnable - finish off the
whole task inside the run method.

Subject: RE: suspend the awt

But after the call:
new Thread(runnable).start();
I
need to wait for the new Thread to finish, because I want to get some object
from that runnable and it will only be available when the run() is
completed.
I
tried with:
while( thread.isAlive() )
{
Thread.sleep(300);
}
but this sleeps the awt thread, so no painting happens
anymore

Sorry, since the dialog is modal you need to show it in
the run of the runnable (again in the SwingUtilities and not in the
actionPerformed).
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
Runnable runnable = new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
startProgressDialog(); // remember to do this in the swing
thread
try {
// do some long operation and update progress dialog in
the Swing thread when appropriate
} finally {
closeProgressDialog(); // remember to do this in the

}
}
new
Thread(runnable).start();

Yes, create the dialog and start the progress bar in
the action peformed and then update it with calls to
SwingUtilities.invokeLater in your MyRunnable class. Make sure you close
the dialog in a finally block.
Hope this helps.

Hey,

You can -

b) Disable all input event dispatching until
your operation concludes by replacing the EventQueue with your

I want to suspend the awt thread but still get
painting done. Is this possible?
assume this piece of code:

You are in the actionPerformed, so this gets executed

and we want to wait in the actionPerformed for it to finish and then
continue with our work. How do I do it?
