Hi Alles,

I am new and wondering whether I could get help here. I have an Action.
I want that by Clicking it would cause several instances of a View to
show. However, using IWorkbenchPage.showView(...) did not show the view
content (e.g., a label or an image). The program seemed to skip it and
continue to run the code after the showView() statement (e.g.,
System.out.println(...) or Thread.sleep(...)). If I inserted a
MessageBox after the showView() statement. The IWorkbenchPage.showView()
then displayed the view. Why do I need a MessageBox to have the view
shown? Can I show the view without the MessageBox? Any help please?

Ben

Depending on what you put there ... i.e. if you did a showView(*) and
then a Thread.sleep(*), it will never show up. You've blocked the UI
thread!

you would need to showView(*) and then exit your run(*) method.
