Disable gui buttons while excuting script

Question

hi,
i have class that that calls script in one of methods
    synchronized(this){
         Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start " + script.getCanonicalPath());
         p.waitFor();
    }I'm writting a swing gui above this class..
This method is quite time consuming, so i use swingworker for this(code above is called from doInBackground() method)
While i'm calling method above i would like to have buttons on my form disabled,
so i used this code:
      okButton.setEnabled(false);
      cancelButton.setEnabled(false);
      InitSwingWorker sw = new InitSwingWorker();
      sw.execute();As swing worker finisher buttons are supposed to be enabled again, so i enable them in the done() method of swing worker
public void done(){
            okButton.setEnabled(true);
            cancelButton.setEnabled(true);
        }And my problem is this:
buttons disables (that's fine), but they don't stay disabled until executing of script is done. They are enabled right away, i can see that they were disabled for few milis maybe,
but that's it.
thanks for any help with this :)

Answer 1

When you run a "start" command in the command processor it starts a background Windows process and returns immediately. It will probably work if you remove the "start".
