.net - Scrolling The Scrollbar Of A ConsoleApplication Hangs The Thread?
May 26, 2011
I've got some server apps that I've been trying to get some metrics from so I can debug them. I found that when scrolling back up the window I'd suddenly get timeouts from the clients. Sure enough, moving the scrollbar stopped the application.
I'm probably missing something fundemental here, but I can't work out why moving the scrollbar on a Console window would block the thread. It's very simple to reproduce:
Sub Main()
Do
Console.WriteLine(Now.ToString("O"))
[code]....
Run that up, and any interaction with the window blocks the thread. In the example below, I just moved the scrollbar a bit and held it in position for a few seconds before releasing [URL]I've tried it with a Timer type loop rather than a Thread.Sleep but the same issue appears. What am I doing wrong (other than not using a service instead!)?

I want to make a panel scroll horotzional with a scrollbar. The panel will have images only (Maybe a label under each picturebox), and I don't have enough space for all the images, so I want to make it scroll horotzional.

When a panel's AutoScroll is set True then it will add scrollbars for navigation of the entire size of its content. What I want is to be able to set the vertical scrollbar to go to top or zero so its contents top controls will be viewable.

I have a thumbnail control where I am adding Images using openfiledialog and after adding it automatically scrolls down.
So I would like to stop scrolling the scrollbar and just append the Images.
I have tried using this code:
Thumbcontrol1.VerticalScroll.Value=0
It worked fine but the scrollbar is at the bottom and it shows me the first row of Images.
And this is my second attempt by doing this way:
I have just set the autoscroll property to false and it hides the scrollbars and I'm stuck with this so how do I scroll the remaining Images?
And Is there any other method to hide scrollbars and just scroll the Images using mouse? Or any other simpler way to get rid of this?

I am developing windows based video application, in my application I have to make multiple video files with different duration from a single video file. To achieve this I am using thread.join method(), when I run my application it works fine but sometimes it hangs and I have got to close my application using Task manager, I can't understand why my application behave like this?.
This generally happens when number of output files are more than 40. Is there any problem with thread.join() function, when number of threads are increased. I am generating a new thread for each output file because this is the limitation of the third party dll which I am using.

I have an application that interacts with third party COM objects. A method of the COM object that I call will sometimes stop responding. I created a Backgroundworker thread to call the function and I am trying to monitor it from my main thread to kill it if it hangs. I have additional code (not supplied) that tracks the processing time using system.timer from the main thread and I raise an event if it exceeds my threshold (this part is fine). This is when I want to kill the thread and stop code execution. The problem is.. if I use the cancelasync method it will just pend since the code execution is stuck on the function call.
The particular function call in the code snippet that hangs is "objCOM.SendDataToServer()". It typically takes 1-3 seconds to return, but if it gets no response it will just hang indefinitely and won't return at all (no errors just hangs).. there is no timeout... and since I don't have access to the source function I cannot supply one. I tried the .dispose() method of the thread, but apparently that doesn't kill it and neither does cancelasync. I just need help figuring out how to KILL this thread so I can reset the server connection and call the function again.
Public Class COMobject
Private objCOM as new acs.manager
Public Sub CallComFunction()

I am trying to print HTML from a console application using a WebBrowser control.
I created a new ConsoleApplication and added a reference to System.Windows.Forms. I can successfully print using the code below, which I built after much searching of the Googles [URL]
However, if I remove the MsgBox call, it does not print. If I replace the MsgBox call with a call System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000) or something that loops for a while and calls Application.DoEvents(), it still will not print. I have also tried delaying the call to WebBrowser.Dispose() with more sleeping, but that does not do the trick either. The only way I have been able to make it print is by letting it show the MsgBox, which is not ideal for an automated printing job to the default printer.
Here is the

I'm supposed to design this program in ConsoleApplication about Phone Numbers:
You are writing a program and you need to store telephone numbers. You'd like to be user-friendly, and let the users enter their telephone number in whatever format they like with parentheses and dashes, so long as they enter 10 digits. Assume that they won't enter any other characters. The user will only enter ( ) - spaces and numbers.So, these would all be valid inputs

So with the stock Textbox, I set the Scrollbars property to Vertical. This is great if the text in my box never changes; I can scroll up and down while the box sits still. If I'm running a background operation that logs output to the box though, the scrollbar resets itself to the top every time I append text to the box.
I know I can set the Textbox.Selection property (or use the Select method) to reposition the carat in the textbox, make note of that position in a variable, then append text, reset the carat, and use the ScrollToCarat method to reposition the scrollbar where it belongs. That's a really (ridiculously) long way around. Anybody know if there's another/better way of holding the scrollbar position, short of actually building a custom control (or using a Textbox and a separate Scrollbar)? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.

After scouring the articles online I have come up with this design for a winforms based touchscreen app that needs smartphone like scrolling. The app itself will run on a tablet laptop or touchscreen desktop.I put everything I want to scroll on a panel. Set autoscroll to true (which will show scrollbars)Now put this whole panel inside a groupbox.Shrink the groupbox until the scrollbars are hidden (visually hidden, not visible = false)
Now the fun part I am stuck at.I think I have to handle the mousedown, mouseup & mousemove on the panel to set the autoscrollposition so that when someone touches the panel and drags, it does it's scroll magic. Please help fill in the few lines of code in below method stubs. The msdn doc on autoscrollposition is very confusing since it returns negative numbers but needs to be set to positive with abs and what not.

In one application, I need use 4 simultaneous threads.When the threads finished, I need to update the text of a TextBox.So, I create 4 Textbox, and I wanna the threads change the text to FINISHED.Each thread change one distinct TB.I use this "example"
Dim Terminados As Integer = 0
Private Sub frmEnviarMensagem_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.Start()
[code]....
The problem is, I have an error in the red lines.The error is: INVALIDOPERATIONEXCEPTION "Cross-Thread operation not valid: Control tbPlaca1 Accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."I don't use cross threading. Each TB only was accessed for the correspondent thread, and for the "main program".

This is the error message I am getting:
"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Panel1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." The reason I am getting this error is because I am opening up a new form and then calling these three things:
Panel1.Show()
Label1.Show()
Label2.Show()
why I get this error message because it doesn't occur normally if I open Form2 after closing Form1, it only occurs when I open Form2 after closing Form4.

Would anyone be able to help me here please. I'm fairly new to VB.net and threading so im just trying to figure out what is happening.When I debug this I am getting the error thread operation not valid: Control 'ProgressBar1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
I'm a little lost as to why the error is occuring or how to fix it. I've had to put the progress bar in a separate thread otherwise the GUI crashes

My understanding is that thread.join will suspend the execution of code on the calling thread until the spawned thread finishes or is aborted...
With that in mind, I tried this:
For i = 1 to 50
threads = New Thread(AddressOf test)
threads.IsBackground = True
threads.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA)
[CODE]...
However, the rest of the code runs when the loop finishes, not waiting for all the spawned threads to finish. Since the rest of the code needs the threads to finish (otherwise the rest will error).

I have written an application that loads a form - frmCad as well as AutoCad. It does this via a class which detects when AutoCad quits.
Friend Class CadApp Private WithEvents AppObject As AcadApplication... Private Sub AppObject_BeginQuit(ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles AppObject.BeginQuit RaiseEvent Quit() End SubEnd Class
My main class loads frmCad as well as CadApp.
Public Class Cad Private WithEvents frmCad As CadForm Private WithEvents app As CadApp... Public Sub ShowForm() If frmCad Is Nothing Then frmCad = New CadForm frmCad.Visible = True End Sub... Private Sub app_Quit() Handles app.Quit frmCad.Dispose() frmCad = Nothing .... End Sub
When I debug the program, it stops at frmCad.Dispose()The program continues to execute, but all the code after it fails to work.Looking more carefully I get an error message which contains:-Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Autocad' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

i used it and it works fine then. but as it is mentioned its not a good practice to use it. So what should i do? is it ok if i use this as i am not able to use correct practice. Mine application is not for enterprise purpose. its just my class project, and it works fine even if i put application working in background. System works ok. I dont know how to correct this error.As i dont have that much knowlege of threads.
So please guide me how to fix this in correct way otherwise i am force to go for bad programming practice

I'm creating a Client Server application which involves theServer running some scripts in clients and getting back results in an automated way. In Server, other than Main thread, i have 2 worker threads, a) one monitoring response from clients and b) the other scheduling next available job to respective client which executes that job. The issue here is ,I want these worker threads to write the status of their work in the UI(which comes under Main Thread). Also i need to write things in worker thread in a Data table and Rich Text Box in Main thread. But, I can't do so, since it has been blocked to access one thread's function or property directly from others. Is there any work around to do this?

Preface: I know this is an unusual/improper way to do this. I can do this with a "real" ShowDialog(), background worker/thread, and so on. I am trying to do specifically what I describe here, even if it is ugly. If this is impossible for X reason, I have created a fancy progress dialog for some of our long running operations. I need to have this dialog shown on a new thread while having processing continue on the calling (UI in most cases) thread.

I need your help on the following. In debugging mode only the program is stopping to the following line "My.Forms.FormMain.HelpProviderMain.HelpNamespace = "Reports.chm"" with the following error ""An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'FormSplash' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.""
I noticed that when I am putting NONE in SPLASH screen option in the properties of the project, there is no problem.I am no familiar with treating that's why can you give me detail instruction how to overcome this annoying problem?

I am getting this exception: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'TextBoxOutput' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. in a VB 2008 Windows Forms application that I havent specifically made multi-threaded. I have create a sub called Out() like this:
Private Sub Out(ByVal inString As String)
Me.TextBoxOutput.Text += (Me.TextBoxOutput.Text & inString & vbNewLine)
Me.TextBoxOutput.SelectionStart = Me.TextBoxOutput.Text.Length
Me.TextBoxOutput.ScrollToCaret()
End Sub
and I call it from various events to log messages I am getting from my pbx, which I use a third party open source dll to access. The interesting thing to me is that if I run the deployed application (ie, not in the VS IDE) I do not get any exceptions, it's only from within the IDE.if I add the line: Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = False to the form's constructor, the exceptions stop, but a) this seems like a hacky way to get around the issue and b) the application seems to hang sometimes when I have it set this way.
