i am having a thread to keep the application in sleep for some time after the application process a data.
[Code]....
Currently, the application gets hanged if i press close button when thread.sleep() is running. How can i make the close button to close the application even when the thread.sleep is running.
I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.
View 2 RepliesI have set up a notify icon for my form. I want to make it so that when the user clicks the close button that it doesn't close the form it just takes it to shows the notify icon. They can exit the program from the notify icon. Can someone tell me how to keep it running?

I am trying to give some user entertainment, and show a "please wait" window, with Marquee, during the loading of a separate complex Window. I am attempting to do this by loading the Window in a new thread, like this:
Public Function ShowPleaseWait() As System.Threading.Thread
Dim PleaseWait As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf LoadPleaseWait)
PleaseWait.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA)
[code]....
In the calling code, it calls ShowPleaseWait and saves the Thread for later.. To close the window, it calls Thread.Abort, on the saved thread. This in turn will causes it to enter the Catch. I have tried, many different ways, with and without the catch.This works incredibly, the first time it is called. However, additional calls will fail at window.Show() with the exception: The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it..This really puzzles me as the window was created one line above the call to window.Show and is local. How is it owned by a different thread? How can I fix this?
How can I close or stop a thread. For example
Dim trlisten As Thread
Is it trlisten.Stop? or trlisten.Close? or what?
I actually have gotten the events firing like I expect except for trying to close the dialog window.

However, I am having problems when I use the following code to do a cross thread call to close a form. The form just hangs there.
Public Delegate Sub setFormClosing(ByVal ctrl As Control)
Private Sub closeForm(ByVal ctrl As Control)
If Me.InvokeRequired Then

View 1 RepliesI have a form containing a date textbox and a submit button and a close window button. The date textbox onblur calls a javascript function which checks for date validation and some other logic and displays some alert messages. The date on the textbox is always selected and onfocus. My problem is when I try to click the close window button with/without changing the date the alert messages from the onblur logic are displaying and I am unable to close the window. I tried using onchange instead of onblur but onchange too works when a control looses focus. it works fine when I donot change the date but when I change the date and hit the close window button it too displays the alert messages and the window does not close. Please suggest me what will be my best option.

View 9 RepliesWell it would appear that you need to close IO.StreamReader every time you try and open a new document. So I have tried to do this a variety of ways, with no success. I am open to the option of having it check the same document for the Username, Password, and HWID. (Yes, I know that this is not in any way a secure method to gather data but their is a reason for my madness) Anyways onto the code, I removed the URL (Yes, I did check to make sure they were all valid and worked).
VB Dim wc As New Net.WebClient 'Downloading the list..
Dim hread As New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("myurl")) 'URL to the list
Dim uread As New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("myurl")) 'URL to the list

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
