I am creating a CHAT interface for my game (when networking, server/client style) and I ran into a little problem..The way it works... I have forms for the SERVER (frmServer) and CLIENTS (frmClient) each of them have a LISTBOX (lbChat) in which I input (lbChat.Items.Add(string)) text as the users type it - in essence a chatbox...
So, let's use the CLIENT as an example (as it is simpler and the concept the same in both client and server cases)The Client form (frmClient) creates a thread that is used to listen for chat messages (via TCP) - so what I did was pass the listbox itself (lbChat) to the thread thus (I thought) solving my problem of writing into the listbox when chat messages arrive (and are caught by the thread and not frmClient of course)Now while debugging the code I get the following exception when my thread attempts to write in the listbox (lbChat) of frmClient General Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'lbChat' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
So now the question is how do I work around this cross-thread exception? How do I pass information (chat text) from my listener threads (and there will be multiple of them in the field, one per client) to the centralized listbox (lbChat) on the form?I need some kind of method to transfer information while also reducing the chances of running into contention issues (do I need to use ReaderWriterLock?), thing is I have no clue how to accomplish this task (I thought simply passing in the listbox would allow me to write to it in each of the threads).

I have a few classes. One of the classes handles everything to do with updating controls (Such as adding items to a listview, etc.) and another is handling loops. I'm trying to add something to a richtextbox from another thread.[code]..
View 3 RepliesI'm going to level with you -- although I heard someone say a long time ago "Never use it"! -- and it stuck with me, if I didn't have this in my form load code, my program wouldn't work.Because, to be completely honest, I could never get my head around the issue regarding the serial port and using delegates. (Haven't given up though).
Anyway, the software works absolutely fine with this statement BUT I get a several errors without it based on that "separate threads" thing (to put it in hillbilly terms). is it still "Never use it"? or am I not alone, and some of you have also used "check for illegal cross threads = false"
I have a main VB form (frmMain). frmMain has-a subForm (frmOPC), and declares a private member of type frmOPC WithEvents.

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.

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.

l_Users.Items.Add(SocketID)

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

View 13 RepliesI 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.

im sorry if this has been asked before.but i couldent find it in my first look i have a form that runs a query on a mysql database but as it runs the query the form stops responding till it finishes sooo i had the smart idea of putting it in a back ground worker..
GREAT i thot i had it working it all seemed to go greeat then i noticed when i try to change the label text on the form to corispond to the info it got... it wont work it give me a cross threading error....
how to cross thread between the back ground worker and the origial form..
I'm trying to do a basic function, I'm using Visual Basic 2008 express, I have a windows form with 1 textbox, 1 button and a serial port. When the button is pressed serialport1 is opened then the data received is trimmed to remove unwanted char from start and end and then is displayed in the textbox, when the button is pressed again the port is closed, this works fine but in debug mode I get a cross thread error, telling me I can't use textbox1.text=result

I am trying to load data using a backgroundworker using a code snippet that I found. I think that it would all work fine, except that I am getting an error that I am doing a cross thread operation. The task that I am trying to accomplish is loading data for a large dataset when a command (Run Operation) is called so that I can prepare the user that it may take a long time, and I can display a scrolling marque to show them that the program is not frozen. I am using a separate form to display the warning, an OK button, and a scrolling marque.[code]

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've got a problem. I'm running a different thread. The thread's sub is looping, doing various things during the program, and eventually tries to close the form. I get an error, because the other thread can't access the "Me" object, I guess. It won't close the form. I don't want to use Application.Exit. Is there another way?
