Right you need to ensure you send the event from the display thread (just like
a mouse click).
We have some helper methods in PlatformGIS to help … here is the internals of
them:
To find the current display:
Display display = Display.getCurrent();
if (display == null) {
display = Display.getDefault();
}
And then send it a runnable:
display.asyncExec(runnable);
Our helper method is:
PlatformGIS.asyncInDisplayThread( runnable, true )
Good luck; working with the display thread is an annoying pat of using SWT (or
any user interface toolkit)
