In my application, I have a MainWindow with a ToolStripProgressBar and a ToolStripStatusLabel.
This properties:
Property ProgressBarPercantage() As Integer Implements BCSXPSearchTool.Presenter.IMainView.ProgressPercentage
Get
Return Me._progressbarpercentage
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Integer)
Me._progressbarpercentage = value
Me.StatusStripCurrentProgressBar.Value = Me._progressbarpercentage
End Set
End Property
Private _progressbarpercentage As Integer = 0
Property ProgressStatusText() As String Implements BCSXPSearchTool.Presenter.IMainView.ProgressStatusText
Get
Return Me._progressstatustext
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Me._progressstatustext = value
Me.StatusStripCurrentState.Text = Me._progressstatustext
End Set
End Property
Private _progressstatustext As String = "Ready"
In the MainWindowPresenter I start a new BackgroundWorker which should read from a database.
Public Sub Search()
Dim bw As New BackgroundWorker
bw.WorkerReportsProgress = True
bw.WorkerSupportsCancellation = True
AddHandler bw.DoWork, AddressOf runproc
If bw.IsBusy = False Then
bw.RunWorkerAsync()
End If
End Sub
Public Sub runproc()
Dim statusToSub As delegateStatusTo = AddressOf statusTo
Dim percToSub As delegatePercTo = AddressOf percTo
statusToSub.Invoke("Test")
'percToSub.Invoke(50)
End Sub
Public Sub percTo(ByVal value As Integer)
_view.ProgressPercentage = value
End Sub
Public Sub statusTo(ByVal value As String)
_view.ProgressStatusText = value
End Sub
Delegate Sub delegateStatusTo(ByVal value As String)
Delegate Sub delegatePercTo(ByVal value As Integer)
The code above is working. But if I change the sub runproc() to:
Public Sub runproc()
Dim statusToSub As delegateStatusTo = AddressOf statusTo
Dim percToSub As delegatePercTo = AddressOf percTo
' statusToSub.Invoke("Test")
percToSub.Invoke(50)
End Sub
It doesn't work. I get an exception:
InvalidOperationException
I got the text in english and can't translate it to english very well but I think something like:
The access to the control, created by another thread from another thread is not allowed.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Express + VB 2.0.
Thank you!
