All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface IRunnableContext

Interface for UI components which can execute a long-running operation in the form of an IRunnableWithProgress. The context is responsible for displaying a progress indicator and Cancel button to the end user while the operation is in progress; the context supplies a progress monitor to be used from code running inside the operation. Note that an IRunnableContext is not a runnable itself.

For examples of UI components which implement this interface, see ApplicationWindow, ProgressMonitorDialog, and WizardDialog.

Method Detail

run

public void run(boolean fork,
                boolean cancelable,
                IRunnableWithProgress runnable)
         throws InvocationTargetException,
                InterruptedException

Runs the given IRunnableWithProgress in this context. For example, if this is a ProgressMonitorDialog then the runnable is run using this dialog's progress monitor.

Parameters:

fork - true if the runnable should be run in a separate thread, and false to run in the same thread

cancelable - true to enable the cancelation, and false to make the operation uncancellable

runnable - the runnable to run

Throws:

InvocationTargetException - wraps any exception or error which occurs while running the runnable

InterruptedException - propagated by the context if the runnable acknowledges cancelation by throwing this exception. This should not be thrown if cancelable is false.
