Hi.
I have an swt app and I'm working in eclipse.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to fit a status dialog up that
will allow me to report records processed etc and make cancel /pause
processing buttons available.

I'm pretty rust so a pointer to a code snippet or actual code would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

p.s. here is my main. basically the'processingToDo' method puts up a
couple of file dialogs to get input and output file names, and then
reads one file and writes the other.

public class HelloWorld {

   
   

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        boolean firstTime = true;
        String fileToProcess = new String();
        String outputFile = new String();
        LogFileProcessor theLFP = null;
        Display display = new Display ();
         Shell shell = new Shell (display);
         Label label = new Label (shell, SWT.CENTER);
         label.setText ("Hello_world");
         label.setBounds (shell.getClientArea ());
         shell.open ();
         theLFP = new LogFileProcessor(shell);
         while (!shell.isDisposed ())
         {
             if (firstTime)
             {
                 firstTime = false;
             }
             else
             {
                 // The file already exists; asks for
confirmation
                 MessageBox mb = new MessageBox(shell,
SWT.ICON_WARNING
                     | SWT.YES | SWT.NO);
       
                 // We really should read this string from a
                 // resource bundle
                 mb.setMessage("Process Another? ");
       
                 // If they click Yes, we're done and we drop
out. If
                 // they click No, we redisplay the File
Dialog
                 if (mb.open() != SWT.YES)
                 {
                     break;
                 }
             }
             fileToProcess = theLFP.ProcessingToDo();
            if (fileToProcess != null)
            {
                label.setText("input file: " + fileToProcess);
                outputFile = theLFP.GetOutputFileName();
                if (outputFile != null)
                {
                    label.setText("input file: " +
fileToProcess + ", output file: " + outputFile);
                    ProcessInputDrWatsonFile PIDWF = new
ProcessInputDrWatsonFile();
                    if (PIDWF != null)
                    {
                        try
                        {
PIDWF.StartProcessing(fileToProcess, outputFile);
                        }
                        catch (IOException ex)
                        {
label.setText("EXCEPTION " + ex.getMessage() + " Processing input
file: " + fileToProcess + ", output file: " + outputFile);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                break;
            }
            if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
         }
         display.dispose ();
   
    }
}
