Strange cross-threading UI errors

I'm writing a WinForms app which has two modes: console or GUI. Three projects within the same solution, one for the console app, one for the UI forms and the third to hold the logic that the two interfaces will both connect too. The Console app runs absolutely smoothly. A model which holds the user-selections, it has an IList<T> wher...

Need help getting info across a UI thread and another thread in C#

I have a server application that receives information over a network and processes it. The server is multi-threaded and handles multiple sockets at time, and threads are created without my control through BeginInvoke and EndInvoke style methods, which are chained by corresponding callback functions. I'm trying to create a form, in addit...

Why am I getting this error:"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control lbFolders accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."?

This is baffling me, maybe somebody can shine the light of education on my ignorance. This is in a C# windows app. I am accessing the contents of a listbox from a thread. When I try to access it like thisprgAll.Maximum = lbFolders.SelectedItems.Count; I get the error. However, here is the part I don't get. If I comment out that line...

asp.net threading and gui

Are there any issues with changing elements which will appear on a web page within a thread. I am from a windows programming background and obviously if a thread needs to change the GUI in some way you have to delegate it to the GUI thread.

Can I create a thread that can modify the user interface, and that I can abort?

I have a lengthy user-interface operation on my form which is triggered whenever an event is fired. Rather than have the UI block while the operation takes place, I'd like to perform the operation in another thread, and abort that thread and start again if the event fires again. However, to safely alter controls on my form, I need to u...

Help me with that CrossThread?

This code is executed by many way. When it's executed by the form button it works (the button start a thread and in the loop it call this method = it works).

What can I access from a BackgroundWorker without "Cross Threading"?

Hi, I realise that I can't access Form controls from the DoWork event handler of a BackgroundWorker. (And if I try to, I get an Exception, as expected). However, am I allowed to access other (custom) objects that exist on my Form? For instance, I've created a "Settings" class and instantiated it in my Form and I seem to be able to re...

What is the easiest way to do Cross-Thread Winforms stuff?

To able to do proper cross-thread access I'm using a piece of code something like this : Private Delegate Sub DelSetButton(ByVal button As Button, ByVal label As String, ByVal enabled As Boolean) Private Sub SetButton(ByVal button As Button, ByVal label As String, ByVal enabled As Boolean) If InvokeRequired Then Invoke(New ...

Thread Finished Event in Python

Hello, I have a PyQt program, in this program I start a new thread for drawing a complicated image. I want to know when the thread has finished so I can print the image on the form.

BackgroundWorker OnWorkCompleted throws cross-thread exception

I have a simple UserControl for database paging, that uses a controller to perform the actual DAL calls. I use a BackgroundWorker to perform the heavy lifting, and on the OnWorkCompleted event I re-enable some buttons, change a TextBox.Text property and raise an event for the parent form. Form A holds my UserControl. When I click on som...

I've been struggling with this for quite a while: I have a function designed to add control to a panel with cross-thread handling, the problem is that though the panel and the control are in "InvokeRequired=false" - I get an exception telling me that one of the controls inner controls are accessed from a thread other than the thread it w...

Finding methods that require InvokeRequired

Dear all, I come to you to see if someone has an idea on how to solve a problem I've come across while doing a migration to ActiveMQ. I'm using ActiveMQ to send notifications within this project (in C#), and after finishing the implementation i found some errors concerning threading problems. ( I know that the solution for that exception...

Threading problem with Visual Studio Debugger.

Hey fellas. I have an application that is designed to be run across a network. This means that the initial run of this application can take a while. So I've been putting together a splash screen to pretty the process up some. It uses threading to show the form via a static method. I'm still something of a threading novice, so when I go...

A random cross-thread operation exception for Winforms multithreaded UI operation

For some reason, this safe-looking method raises a classic exception. Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'statusLabel' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. This code obviously should call an anonymous method through Invoke when invoke is required. But the exception occurs every once in a whil...

Cross thread UI component call.

Is this an appropriate way of handling cross-thread operations? Should I use a new property name, something like "EditValueThreadSafe" instead of overriding "EditValue"? I don't think there is an issue with the changes to the implementation of EditValue, as the base property is called regardless. namespace MyApplication.Components { ...

Preventing Subsequent Invoke requirements within cross-thread invokes
