<p>make this call in a java application and where it’s valid to do so because the native code is<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>doing more than just setting the “GradientBackground” variable. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>2)<span style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span>Similar but different, if I add a vtkAxesActor to the renderer, it cannot be enabled until some time later. Ambiguous, I know!!!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>the calls to widget.SetEnabled(1) causes the application to hang. If I set it to widget.SetEnabled(0)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> and then sometime later (not sure the condition here for what is “later”)toggle it on. It works as expected.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Everything is setup to check for the EDT and execute properly on the EDT or invokeLater on the EDT so it doesn’t seem like that’s the issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As I’ve stated earlier, this setup works on most machines but we ran into a case where, it fails.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">What I’ve noticed when it hangs is that there are two AWT Event threads(0 and 1) and it looks like a window pops up external to the SWT composite.<o:p></o:p></p>
