However, this API is internal to ULC and may change in future. But you can use it for now. Please see the snippet below. Thanks and regards, Janak -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Etienne Studer Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 12:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ULC-developer] long-running task on client with blocking-UI Hi In the client-side part of an extension, I want to call a long-running task (for example, the client connects to a local device, no request to the ULC server-side is made). In order to keep the UI repainted, I need to launch a separate task outside the AWT-Thread but I still want to keep the UI blocked (just like one would do it in a pure Swing app). Is there a hook in ULC core that allows me to block/unblock the UI? Any suggestions? Thanks for your feedback.
