J-Link + Swing GUI

[mali]

I've created a J-Link application, which has a swing GUI. On click of a UI command button, I'm creating a part files (simulating File--> New Part). The same thing when wanted to simulate through a swing GUI in synchronous mode, the GUI gets created, but when I push the button in the GUI, the GUI hangs. Can any one help me in making the swing GUI work with PROE?

class MenuButtonListener extends DefaultUICommandActionListener {
 public void OnCommand() {
 try {
 //This works
 Session curSession = pfcGlobal.GetProESession();
 Model tryModel = curSession.CreatePart("Testing");
  tryModel.Display();
 //This doesn't work
 //How to make it work 
 csProe.StepToProeGui.createAndShowGUI();
 } catch (Exception x) {
 STEP_TO_PROE.printMsg("something wrong: " + x);
 x.printStackTrace();
 System.out.println("------------------------------------");
 }
 }
}

Ok Finally got it.

It is possible to call an PROE action from a swing GUI. Use the following code to test it.

Conclusion:

JFrame doesnt work in Synchronous J-Link application

JDialog works in Synchronous application by seeting the flag "setModal(true);"
