SWT Thread

[dushantha Rathnayake]

Hi,

I am new to SWT. I got a project to develop a chart that change their values according to time. so the chart must change with the time. To do this changing part I used a thread. The program is work with thread correctly but I cant do any other operations.It means the program only do the chart changing part (no multi process) so what I want to do now. I want to do parallel process's.

Thread code:

final Runnable print = new Runnable() {
		public void run() {
			Random rand=new Random();
			timerNum=rand.nextInt(100);
			drawMul.setChartValue(timerNum);
		}
	};

	final Thread applicationThread = new Thread("applicationThread") {
		public void run() {
			while(threadController==true){
				try {
					display.syncExec(print);
					Thread.sleep(1000);
				} catch (Exception e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
				}
			}
			
		}
	};

Please help me.

Thank you.

you didn't start your thread.

final Thread applicationThread = new Thread("applicationThread") {
public void run() {
while(threadController==true){
try {
display.syncExec(print);
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}
};

applicationThread.start();

Hi,

Sorry for the late. Actually my Thread is start in another section.It is ok. The problem is after start the Thread cant do other activities. Simply think this, I want to do an animation using a thread.I want to use tow threads.Using first thread i want to print "First thread" after one second i want print this again. I want to continue this process with the time.Using second thread I want to print "Second Thread" after two seconds I want to print "Second Thread" Again. I want to continue this process as earlier process. The Out put should be following.

First thread
Second Threa
First thread
First thread
Second Threa
First thread
First thread
Second Threa
