I ported a SWT multi thread sample to D, but it not worked, and body help?
tested with recent dwt-win on Windows XP, compile by DMD 1.036, click on the button, nothing happen:

I cannot try it right now, but perhaps this works? :

void dgRefresh()
{
    auto runOne = new RunOne();
    Thread thread = new Thread( &runOne.run );
    thread.start();
}

shell.setText( "wait " ~ to!(String)(i++) );

only works on GUI thread, otherwise it will throw exception,

you should using display.synExec(...); make sure it be called
in GUI thread.

code works:

    void dgRefresh()
    {
        auto runOne = new RunOne();
        Thread thread = new Thread( &runOne.run );

        thread.start();
    }

        class RunOne : Runnable
        {
            uint i;
            void run()
            {
                Stdout("RunOne.run").newline;
                long start = WallClock.now.span.millis;

                void dgSetText(String text)
                {
                    shell.setText(text);
                }
                while ((WallClock.now.span.millis() - start) < runTime)
                {
                    auto text = "wait " ~ to!(String)(i++);
                    shell.getDisplay.syncExec( dgRunnable(&dgSetText, text) );

                    Thread.sleep(1);
                }
            }
        }


My question is :
in dwt-samples\user\torhu_synctest.d, code works:
        auto t = new Thread({Display.getDefault.syncExec(new class Runnable {
            void run() { txt.setText("inside syncExec"); }
        });});


where code here not work:

    void dgRefresh()
    {
        auto runOne = new RunOne();
        Thread thread = new Thread( { shell.getDisplay.syncExec(runOne); } );
        thread.start();
    }
