Yes Another 'Passing Variables Thread"
Jan 7, 2012VBasic / VS2008 / .NET 3.5 / Meas Studio 8.5 I've searched and seen a number of convoluted ways of doing this but.... What I am trying to do should be simple and in my mind (and from previous experience) it should work. It doesn't At least not after 10 hours of tweaking, editing, researching....
Straightforward project, 3 components - MainModule, MainForm, CNCNoForm. I declare public var NCPgmNo in the module. I open the CNCNoForm from the MainForm. This form has 2 controls - Numeric Up/Down Box & Close Button. I enter a number in the Num box (read only property is set to false), then assign the value to the var. NCPgmNo in the value-changed event sub. I close the form, returning to the MainForm. The variable does not pass even though it is public and declared in the module. I tried removing it from the Numupdown event and assigned the var before 'me.close'. Still N/G.
If I put a breakpoint right after the line that assigns the var, it is correct. It just does not pass to the MainForm. I started with a textbox, then changed to a Meas. Studio Numeric control, finally Numeric up/down. Same results with all 3. I though the CNCNoForm was broken so I removed it from the project and rebuilt it with a new name (yes name references in the MainForm and MainModule are correct). One other thing. If I call the CNCNoForm repeatedly, it reads the previous value. I am ready to give up computers and take up farming or hiking.

Feb 17, 2012Would 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

VS 2008 Terminate A Threading.thread Using Thread.abort?
Jun 10, 2010im trying to terminate a threading.thread using thread.abort the thread runs a download connection so is usually in the middle of socket.recieve or socket.send or socket.connect when aborting i just want to terminate the thread no matter what thread.abort raises an MDA excpetion. so i ticked it off in the debug exceptions menu. now it doesnt raise an exception, but the thread simply wont terminate. my program wont close unless i press top in the debugger.i cant pause downloads because i cant terminate the thread this code wasn't working?
Dim vT As Threading.Thread
For Each vT In clsDownloader.DownloadThreads
If Not vT Is Nothing Then
vT.Abort()
[code].....
as for the exception concerning threads being aborted from other threads being dangerous, how is it possible to send a message from a main thread to another thread to abort itself? as far as i know the only way to a abort one thread from another is to just kill it (because i dont know of ways for a thread to communicate with another).

Passing Multiple Byref Variables / Variables Fail To Change Calling Funct W/ Invoke
Sep 27, 2010I have code, shown below, that works all except for 1 thing: The variables being passed byRef get passed, but once modified in the else section of the "if me.invokerequired" code of RecordData, the variables are never updated in the calling function. To reiterate, the calling function does not receive the updated data that is in the variables custid and amt.When debugging, I see the data change in the else section of "if me.invokerequired", but once it returns from the callback the data is missing.[code]

Multithreading: Reading/setting Variables, And Passing Variables?
Mar 8, 2011Question 1: What is the difference between "Background Worker" and "Worker Pool" as indicated within the MSDN samples provided.
Question 2: I noticed while using, AddressOf _Function_, variables cannot be passed; what would be an efficient solution to this?
Question 3: While using multithreading is it required to invoke before setting variables, or only form properties?
Question 4: While using System.Net.Sockets is it safe/efficient to use Application.DoEvents while waiting for new data; or would be using a Do While loop be fine without DoEvents since the action would be multithreaded? Note: there can be up to 2000-3000 sockets in use at a time.
VS 2010 Shared Variables And Threading Pin?
Mar 12, 2012So I am currently attempting to wrap my head around create multi-threaded programs and I am currently running into an issue when using a Shared variable across multiple threads.The program is structured as follows: Public Shared IsActive as Boolean
Main Thread = GUISets the Value of IsActive through a Button ControlTwo Worker ThreadsBoth threads are while loops that read the IsActive Boolean Ex:While IsActive = True Do Work End WhileHowever when I change the value of IsActive from the Main Thread it causes the worker threads to stop (ThreadState = 16).
I have been reading that I have to synchronize/lock shared resources and have tried SyncLock and Monitor methods without success (it is entirely possible I am not using the above correctly, so If someone could provide proper examples for the above situation using the mentioned methods please share them).

View 4 RepliesVS 2008 [Multi-threading] How To Run This Code In A Separate Thread
Apr 21, 2009I am creating an IDE for a game script with similar functionality as the Visual Studio IDE (at least, some of it). The game script consist of code that looks visually a bit like C code. It uses braces to define the start and end of a 'class' and uses nested braces to define the start and end of an 'event' in a class.
What I want finally is to have two Comboboxes above the text editor, one that lists each Class and the other listing each Event. The comboboxes should also show the Class and Event that the caret is currently in, just like in Visual Studio.I have attached an example of such a script (you can open it with Notepad).However, here is a short example where you can also see how I "defined" classes and events:
class1
{
event1
{
[code]....
As you can see, the classes are the 'names' of each block of code, defined by matching braces { }. The events are the names of each nested block of code, also defined by matching braces { } but inside a class. There is only one level of nesting.As you can also see, the layout can follow the standard C-style layout, or a slightly different layout (using the opening brace on the same line as the class/event name), or even a completely chaotic mess. As long as the braces match correctly, the code is valid.So in short, the large blocks are classes, while the nested blocks are events.
What I want to do, is parse an entire script, and store all the Classes (and eventually, also all the Events, but let's forget about them for now). I want to store the Class name, start position (defined as the start index of the name), end position (defined as the index of the closing brace) and the full text (defined as the text between start and end position, so including the name).
vb.net
Public Class clsClass
Private _Name As String
[code]....
The code works basically by finding every first opening brace (the opening brace of each CLASS, not event), and then loops through the class (using a brace counter to keep track of the nested braces) until it found the last closing brace. It then stores the name, start, end and fulltext in a new clsClass and adds it to the list to return.

View 2 RepliesException W/ Threading And Invoke In A Class - Read A Sock Without Freezing The Thread?
Mar 12, 2011I have created a class for Socket reads so I can create sockets on command. Due to performing a socket read, the program will freeze waiting for incoming data due to being on a single thread. So I created a separate thread for the reading of the sock and attempt to invoke an event to prevent multi-threading errors.
But I am getting an error when trying to Invoke: "Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created."
How can I fix this or is there a better way to read a sock without freezing the thread?
Class for Sockets:
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Imports System.Text

Private WithEvents Socks As clsSock
Private Sub Sock_Connected(ByVal state As String) Handles Socks.Connected

VS 2008 - Use The Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000) Code The Form Becomes Unresponsive
Jul 20, 2010The coding that I have a problem with might make people think that I am creating some malware. So the project I am doing is associated with iTunes. iTunes allows people to have one library. There is another way, but it is very confusing to some people, and very unreliable. So my project is that I will allow people to have multiple iTunes libraries on one computer. So the problem is this. In order to have an option to choose your library, I gotta make sure that iTunes is not running.
So this is the script:
Private Sub CheckAndCloseiTunes()
retry:
'Custom class that includes the function to safely close iTunes
Dim Processes As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName("iTunes")
[CODE]...
So when I use the Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000) code, the form becomes unresponsive.
