Load The Main Form Of A WPF So That A Separate Thread Goes And Gets Data From The Database While The Form Is In An Apartmentstate?
May 15, 2012
How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow()
Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders
OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize it?is there any way to make it Movable while it loads?
I have a few forms that have a lot of really intensive updating along with a great deal of user interface (text boxes, button clicking etc) Is it possible to open a separate form as a separate UI thread from the start up form that called it to "show" or open or whatever the new method might be?
I build my project and i got some problems. First i want to print barcode for books(toolstripmenu item). but i cant. here's the code that i found:
[code..]
second problem is printing again. i want to print my MS ACCESS .mdb from child datagridview's records.
third one i want to save and load(with dialogs) my database from main form to child forms' datagridview.and the last one is help provider. i prepare my own .htm help file, when press F1 it opens. but i dont know how to call provider to toolstripmenuitem and help provider keep my computer's path so when i call provider another computer, the programme cant find the path.
In the main form the user can choose to download information from a device.Since this request takes time, when "download information" is pressed I open new form in a separate thread: Private Sub RunDownload()
I'm reading data from a serial port, but the DataReceived event of SerialPort is handled on it's own thread. I want to handle this on the main thread, but simply declaring an event and raising it still results in it being processed on the SerialPort thread. I'm assuming I need to declare a delegate I can call, but I don't see how that would work.
For example, I want to call Sub HandleDataReceived() on the main thread from the DataReceived thread, having HandleDataReceived() run on the main thread. How would I do this?
I've been searching for the answer for a while but can't find it yet. Basically so far I have a simple VB.Net form with one button.I would like to make a class or module that can handle events from the main form. This is my code so far but it doesn't seem to work.
I've looked at the on line doc over and over, and I can't seem to figure out why this won't work. This code runs the thread, and the thread seems to execute the code in the 'threadsafe' sub, however neither the progress bar is updated or the button click performed.
Imports System.Threading Public Class VisNotify Inherits Form
I have a really simple form with a button that fires a Sub I created which gathers data from ActiveDirectory and adds it to an Excel Sheet. The problem is, when I click this button the whole form hangs. So I figured the operation that gathers the data and adding it to the Excel sheet should be run in it's own thread, so that the form won't hang. Possibly it would be great to add a progressbar as well. The progressbar however is located at the Main userform that starts up once the projects is run.
I've got one MainForm.vb and one CodeFile.vb. I want most of the code in the CodeFile.vb so it's tidier. MainForm.vb Imports User_edit.CodeFile Imports System.ComponentModel Public Class MainForm Private Sub btnImportData_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnImportData.Click [Code] .....
Notice the ExportFromAD Sub I've got in the CodeFile.vb. This is what is actually doing the work. In the For each loop that adds data to the Excel is where I've put the MainForm.MyBackgroundWorker.ReportProgress(i * 10). Problem is, it doesn't actually update the label on the form. Which I find pretty weird because the form isn't really hanging or anything. Is it trying to access a different thread or something? Meaning, the form is run on it's own thread which can't be accessed from my second thread?
I have a windows application with a main form, on which a user control is added dynamically when a device connects trough USB.
On a user control, there is a thread wich is getting data from the device trough USB and when it is finished, I want to change a progressbar that is located on the main windows form where user control reside.
This is the code that is I call on the user control thread to change the progress bar value:
Frm_Main.UpdateProgressBar(CInt((AllBytesReceived / MaxBytesInFlash) * 100)) and this is a code that is called on the main form: Private Delegate Sub UpdateProgressBarDelegate(ByVal value As Integer)
I was a vb6 user, done a few projects only with forums Now i am moving to vb.net(vb2010) and i have some trouble.Lets say we have a form(form1), a module(mod1) and a textbox on the form1.
i want to start a Sub (DoWork) in the module but in a new thread.
Dim Thread1 As System.Threading.Thread Thread1 = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf mod1.DoWork) Thread1.Start()
The DoWork sub does some stuff and when it's finished i want to change the text of a textbox1 in the main form and start another sub (DoWork2) on the main form under the main thread not the one DoWork is running under.
Plese do not refer me to another post that mighe give me a part answer, try to explain to me what i have to do and why.
I have a standard windows application called winap. I have a com component which acts as an api to the winap. I have a class in winap call classapi which has all the methods that the api calls and all works well. The problem is that one of the methods in my class api needs to get a handle on form elements in the main worker thread. Whenever I try to access an existing form I keep getting null because the for exists in the main worker thread and my api call is in a seperate thread.
When the user run the application I would like to show the File menu->ServiceMenu form and the main menu should be allways on the background. I try the following: From the main menu load events call the ServiceMenu routin.
Private Sub ServiceMenu() Dim szt As New sztetelek Me.AddOwnedForm(szt)
[code]....
My problem the following the new ServiceMenu (szt form) show in the right position but cannot get focus. My user have to click on it to the form gets the focus however if the user click the File-ServiceMenu this forms works well and get the focus.I think the main menu get back the focus (If i press the ALT the File menu dropdown .... )
I have created a form in which i am loading thousand of records. so i want to display a progress bar.Actually i am moving from MDI main meny to some other form so when i click that menu item i want to progress bar till my total records are not loaded.
I have a form called ExsistingClient on this form is a datagridview when I double click the datatgridviewrowheader I want it to get the clientid from the datagridview and use that to open and populate a form called ClientMainForm.The datagrid is populated from table called ClientData, the form ClientMainForm will be populated from table called PaymentData. The tables have a relationship on clientid fields.On the ExsistingClient form I have this code:
Private Sub Client_DataDataGridView_RowHeaderMouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles Client_DataDataGridView.RowHeaderMouseDoubleClick
i would like to have a shared function in a separate class file to address the form location . but i dont know how can i get this to work. if i use this below code in my form its working . but i cannot move this to a class file.
Shared Sub Formlocation() Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual Me.Location = Screen.GetWorkingArea(Me).Location End Sub
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?
just wondering if it is possible to have a form and then load up a control on that form but so it runs in a different thread to its parent... i tried:
[Code]...
But it still seemed to be running on the form's thread And just so you know ctlMTTest is just a control that has a button on it, that, when you click the button, a loop runs.
i have my main child form open. then i show the new form:
[Code]...
but when the form opens it flickers a lot. so i want move the new form behind the main form while it loads so the user does not see the flicker. once it is done loading i will set the form to topmost. how do i move the new form behind the main form?
All the code i found for multi-threading is complex and not clear.What i want to do is creating a thread for reading and analyzing a big text file on Form_Load event, so that the form UI building continue without waiting for reading and analyzing the file finish.
I have a tool window that I want to stay above the main application form, but not stay on top of all windows forms. Similar to the floating properties window for visual studio - it always stays on top of the main VS window, but if I select another program, like internet explorer, the floating properties window will be behind internet explorer.
What I have is an application that has several forms that may be displayed at the same time. I have a Messages form that displays messages generated by the code in the form, that gives the status of the application. Obviously, the user would not normally be working on this form, but they may want it to be visible to see the status messages from the program (File saved confirmations, etc). So, my two options right now are I can set the form to be on top of all other windows forms or, when the user clicks on the main application form, the messages form would be hidden by the main form.
I have a main form and a user control form. The user control form is on the main form. How can I send data from user control label1 to main form label 1?
my application receive data from serial port and store it in ConcurrentQuequeFor not lost any data from serial port I need to plot it in a separate theadin SummaryForm Load = set all parameter of ZedGraphPulsante Start = Open serial Port and start Thead
On one form (form1) i have a simple textbox. On the other form (form2) i have 1 combobox and 1 textbox. The combobox and textbox are binded together to a datatable.
What i wan't is that when form2 loads firstly it shows the data from the textbox on form1. And when i select another value wit the combobox it shows the new data from the textbox on form1 to form2.
My problem is when form2 loads firstly no data is shown in my textbox. Why not???
I need to quickly demonstrate a project and decided to create a user control that is connected to an Access database through pure simple data connections (create the dataset and drag it on the control.)When I build the project and add the usercontrol to panel control on the main form, no data is shown in the datagrid.When I add the data components directly on the main form, the data is displayed properly. why I can't get my databound user control to display the data on my main form?
