I am developing a CAD like application. This application is cross platform in the sense that I have a main window which is native to the platform it is running on (Linux, Windows and Apple).

Hi, I have a main menu screen with a simple ListView that contains "links" to further screens in my app (Browse, Bookmarks, Settings, About, etc.).

Correct approach to modifying GUI elements from a worker thread with the Dispatcher?

I've got a bit of an issue here where I want to modify GUI elements from various worker threads. Until today, the method I was using worked, but it was most likely very incorrect.

JComboBoxes - Using setModel to access Objects (in Swing)
