Calling Forms From Another Thread
Mar 3, 2012
I cannot grasp this issue. In the below code. I am trying to start a separate thread to display a progress bar while a function is executed in the main thread. The function can take a while, and during that time the program appears to just lock up. So, the progress bar does not really need to show the progress it just needs to cycle till the main thread function is done executing so that people know that the program is still running.

My routine to check for updates is run as a separate process. Exiting the application is required to update, so a dialog asks the user, when an update is found, if they want to exit now. f they do, the code (from the update thread) calls Application.Exit().However, if the FormClosed event of any form that needs to be closed needs to access its controls, an invalid cross-thread operation is detected (which sounds pretty logical).

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 am trying to call a method that started on a background thread on the UI thread calling BeginInvoke and passing in a delegate as follows:
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(Function() UpdateApplicationDataUI())
to call this method:
Private Sub UpdateApplicationDataUI()
...
End Sub
However, I get an error in the call to BeginInvoke (the UpdateApplicationDataUI portion of the delegate is stating "Expression does not produce a value").
Me.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(Function() New Action(AddressOf UpdateApplicationDataUI))

I have am using a Twitter streaming class library, and would like to update a listbox when a new tweet is posted. I have it all set up to the point where a message box will show when a tweet comes in, but when I try to insert this tweet into a listbox I get this error: The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it. I don't know what I need to do in order to insert this tweet.

I have a small problem that I am sure is due mostly to my inexperience with threading. I have used simple entirely self-contained threads before, but not to a great extent. I understand the basic laws that surround them, such as how a thread cannot access another thread's member directly, and must use delegates.

How do run processes synchronously from a thread or backgroundworker thread? Is it even possible?We have program that allows the user to download several files from a remote server, compress them, and then email the files.It has several long running processes that must run in order. We want these to run on a separate thread so as not to make the form unresponsive. Does a way exist to do this? We attempted a rather clumsy way of approaching this problem by using background worker threads. When each thread is completed and returned back to RunWorkerCompleted, we start another background worker thread and repeat the the next process. It works somewhat but seems to take a lot of resources to run.

I have a couple of threads running. One is a trigger which picks up a system event, the other processes stuff. When the trigger picks up the event I want it to notify the processor thread to do stuff. The threads are both started within the same class and can access the thread-object of the other thread. How do I set up the function call though?

So from the comments section where this persons code was translated to VB.NET on [URL]it shows a little code to aid in calling cross thread UI stuff.
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _
Public Function SafeInvoke(Of T As ISynchronizeInvoke, TResult)(ByRef isi As T, ByRef [call] As Func(Of T, TResult)) As TResult
[Code]....
Error 1 Data type(s) of the type parameter(s) in extension method 'Public Function SafeInvoke(Of TResult)(ByRef call As System.Func(Of frmLogin, TResult)) As TResult' defined in 'GvE.Globals' cannot be inferred from these arguments. Specifying the data type(s) explicitly might correct this error. C:GvEGvEfrmLogin.vb 37 9 GvE
I'm calling that code from inside a method defined in a form but that method is being called from another thread.
Just trying to avoid delegates and this is what the code above is supposed to do, but just can't get it to work.

A thread listens for incoming information from a server will add the received string to a custom control (containing a textbox and a listbox, I've called it console). This requires an invoke so I used the following
Dim InvWriteCons As Console = Gary.ChatCons
Dim INvWriteText As String = "DEFAULT"
Public Sub InvWrite(ByVal cons As Console, ByVal message As String)

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

I have 5 projects within the same solution file, Im trying to access a form that is part of one of the projects from my startup project.I have looked through the earlier threads and most of them deal with calling forms from within a project.To my understanding ive correctly added the projects to the solution file from File --> Add --> Existing Projects.I have also referenced my Project2 from Project1 but still the intellisense does not let me access form1 of project2 from project1.

Im loading a form to retrieve customer information from one form, then, when I collect the data, im trying to pass an ID back to the form that originally made the call. So, what I did is I made it so that the second form calls a sub on the first form, but for some reason it wont work. I put breakpoints in to check the variables, and they are getting data, but I can set the textbox on the first form with the data that is in the sub. Heres the code that loads the second form
Private Sub btnCustSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCustSearch.Click

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 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.

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.

I have a question regarding VB.Net and Object-oriented programming.
I have a solution consisting of two projects.
One project is dedicated to the logic of the application, and one is only to show the Winforms form, and to reflect changes made in the logics project. In other words, when an array filled with various attributes residing in the logics project gets changed, then these changes should be reflected on the form (not that strange in theory).
Here comes the - for me - really tricky part:
I have created user controls, and these are residing in the forms project and placed on the aplication's form. When I click on any one of them, their respective onclick sub gets called okey, but how can I send a message to the logics project from their onclick subs? Basically, I'm not sure on what should be private or not, or possibly how to call the other project correctly. In any case, I can't get it to work.
To sum up: What I need is a line of code calling a class in another project, and someone telling me what should be private, static etc.
