it was useful to me while i was working on my project ..Currently its not loading ,you give it a try..

OK, I try to digg a little thru sun forum

for (long x=0; x< 1000000000; x++) {

}

after worker.execute() from your example text is also deleyed…

ok try this define swing worker outside separately not inside showtext method

SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {

public String doInBackground() {

jTextArea1.append(textMessage);

return null;
}
@Override
public void done() {}
};

private void showText() {

worker.execute();
}

1. defined global variable:
String textMessage = “”;

2. defined method showText()
private void showText() {
SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
@Override
public String doInBackground() {

jTextArea1.append(textMessage);

return null;
}
@Override
public void done() {}
};
worker.execute();
}

3. and everytime I want to append text to jTextArea before calling time consuming method, I do this:
textMessage = “some text I want to display”;
showText();

and, imagin, it doesn’t change anything. Still, text appears after calling time consuming method. WTF???

SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {
public String doInBackground() {
try {
jTextArea.append(m);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}

public void printMessage(String s) {
m = s;
jTextArea1.setText(m);
}

public void done() {}
};
worker.execute();

If so, how can I pass argument to StrinWorker?
