Showing And Hiding Forms From A Console Application Causes "Cross-thread Operation Not Valid."
May 7, 2010Showing and Hiding Forms from a Console Application causes "Cross-thread operation not valid."
View 1 RepliesShowing and Hiding Forms from a Console Application causes "Cross-thread operation not valid."
View 1 RepliesI 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.
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.
I have done a program using vb2005 to display reading from my microcontroller bs2 board but have encountered some problems. My code are as follows.
Dim Stop_Rx As Boolean

SerialPort1.Open()

I've encounter an error which is, (Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'txt1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.)
When my client try to connect to server I'm getting this error : Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'l_users' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
Private Sub _socketManager_onConnectionAccept(ByVal SocketID As String) Handles _socketManager.onConnectionAccept
l_Users.Items.Add(SocketID)
End Sub
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.
My error:Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'label2' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. I want to be able to give my Public RunBot() sub access to edit Labels, buttons, etc without an error.

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 setting up a simple app that has 2 variables, one from a combobox and one from a textbox.Putting all my code directly in the button1_click sub works just fine, however, I wanted to add a marquee progress bar so I tried to implement a backgroundworker.
[code]...
and call it with Me.Invoke(New SetComboBoxTextDelegate(AddressOf SetComboBoxText), ComboBox1.Text)but it still throws the Cross-thread operation invalid error.
When i run the program i am getting the following error in this line TextBox1.Text &= "File Created: " & FullPath & vbCrLf"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'TextBox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."

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 may need to give you more info but I am not sure what! I have been using a print queue dll with good results but all of a sudden when I add label and try during the job added event to change the text value of this label I get a threading error!
"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'lblPagesT' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."
Where can I go to learn about threading, why does it think its a seperate thread? is it cause its coming from the dll?

I have a problem with 'Threading'. I want to have two 'form' that work in separate process, for example if i open a 'OpenFileDialog' from one 'form', the other 'form' works separately and do some things else.

I googled about this error, i found that you need a delegate to go around it, but I dont understand. Here's a Screenshot. Do I need to attach my code too?

My Listbox1 is contain hundreds of lines to loop..thats long iteration. and i need the main form keeps responding from other function even loop is under process. This time i need to use this method of multi-threading.
Im trying to work with threading on a project im doing but i have run into this cross-thread problem, ive worked with background workers before and never had this issue.ive done some searching and found some good threads this one in perticular[URL]..now i tried to use these examples and i made it work on a differant project but i cant seem to get my head around how to make it work on this project.
