Im working on a program ( vb 2005 CE framework ). I have mainly two threads, the main one and another one I use it for a different thing.When I tried to update the UI this exception was thrown : Control.Invoke must be used to interact with controls created on a separate thread.well !I have tried to use the INVOKE, but it wouldn't work. this is where I get the error :

Public Sub PaintKeys()
Dim tempLevel As clsLevel

Update ProgressBar From Another Thread (Thread Is Not A BackgroundWorkerThread)

Nov 18, 2009

I have a program that runs for some time and I would like to update the user on its progress. The rest of the GUI is updated using Delegates and Invokes and such (Java is Soooo much cleaner in this regard - everything is thread safe!!), but there is no invoke method for the progress bar. How can I use a delegate to update the progress bar when there is no invoke to invoke!!

Create A Thread To Update The UI?

Jun 22, 2012

The usual VB way to handle a computationally heavy task is to put it in a background worker thread, while the main thread keeps handling the UI.Say for whatever reason I needed to do this the other way around: the main thread doing the grunt work and the background one updating the UI.Here's what I have so far. The only problem is, while the UI window (Form1) does get redrawn, you can't interact with it, not even move or resize it (the mouse cursor turns to hourglass and won't click).

Public Class ProgressDisplay
Private trd As Thread
Public Sub New()
trd = New Thread(AddressOf threadtask)

[code]....

The client will call it like this (actually in unmanaged c++ over COM but you get the picture):

Dim prog = new ProgressDisplay()
DoLotsOfWork(addressof prog.update) ' DoLotsOfWork method takes a callback argument to keep client informed of progress

Update ListViewItem From An Other Thread?

Dec 7, 2010

below is a small part of my asynchronous TCP connection code. When I connect I'm passing a ListViewItem as Object parameter. I'd like to update the ListViewItem once the connection has been established or an error occurs. ServerConnect runs on a separate thread, because it's an asynchronous connection, so I can't update the ListViewItem directly.

Does anybody know how to update the ListViewItem?

I looked at jmcilhinney's asynchronous TCP example in the Codebank forum, but it confused me. I don't know which parts I need and which parts I don't need.

::edit::

One more thing. I also need to update the ListViewItem in the Read sub, but I'm passing "buffer" as Object, so how would I update the ListViewItem there?

vb.net
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Public Class TCP
Private Socket As TcpClient

Update Form Variables During Thread?

Sep 1, 2009

I'm not sure exactly how to describe this. In VB6, there was a Timer command. I could create a variable of type Timer and loop until the current value for Timer exceeded the initial plus a given amount of time. This allowed me to update form variables while the timing loop was executing. How can I do something similar in .NET?[code]...

Update UI Form From Worker Thread?

Oct 20, 2010

I am new to multi-threading in VB.NET and have come across a problem whereby I am wanting to append text to a text box on a form from a service thread running in the background.

The application I am developing is a client/server listener, I have been able to get the client and server PC's to talk with each other (confirmed through MsgBox), however I am now struggling to get the service thread on the server to append the text to the textbox, nothing vissible occurs.

Asp.net - Deleting A Folder On Another Thread Causes Webpage To Not Update?

Aug 8, 2011

I have a web app which displays a list of emails that need to be sent for the day. The user can select what emails to send, then click a button to generate them. When they click the Send button, a process gets started on another thread which generates the emails, then cleans up after itself by deleting a temp folder. Once the process is finished, the Repeater is rebound to update the User's view and remove the emails that have just been sent so they don't get sent again.

My problem is that when I delete the temp folder from my 2nd thread, the UI doesn't update with the new Repeater data. It updates correctly if I just delete the files in the folder instead of the folder itself, and it also updates correctly if I run the delete the folder on the original thread instead of the 2nd one.

New Thread code

Dim t as Thread = New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf EmailLetters))
t.Start()

Delete folder code

Dim fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.DeleteFolder(Server.MapPath(".") + " mpEmailFiles")

Why won't the UI update to show the new repeater values when I delete a folder on another thread?

When you click the button, a thread gets started and a javascript load script starts executing which does a PostBack every 10 seconds. Each postback checks if the thread is complete and updates the Status label showing the result. If I delete a folder from within the background thread, the final update to the status label never occurs. If I remove the DeleteFolder call, it does.

I created a new thread to run with a loop to update a textbox (this is just a demo, in reality this thing would go out to a db every x minutes to request an update). I did this on a timer, but i wanted to try to do it on a different thread.. anyways, this is what I have: (one form, one textbox, and this code...)[code]I'm getting a warning through (the "Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(2000) part is underlined) which states:"Access of Shared Member, Constent Member, enum Member, or Nested Type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated".

ProgressBar - Getting UI Thread To Update While Reading Database

Update A WPF Control From A Background Thread From A Module?

My application has a total of 1 form. I have several modules, one of which is a module that handles a background worker dynamically. But what I need to be able to do is update a textbox from the background worker thread. Again, this code is contained within a module, not directly on the main form, so I am totally clueless as to how to make a reference to it. It's easy in WinForms, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it in WPF...

VS 2005 Update UI In Event Raised From Thread?

Jul 3, 2011

I want to raise an event from a non-UI thread where the event will be handled by the UI. Currently, I have to use .Invoke in my methods (which updates UI) called from the event.

How can I raise the event, similar to Background Worker's progress update event, where I don't have to specifically do an .Invoke for UI updates?

Do I wrap the event with a delegate or something? Sample code will be fine though, if the explanation was tedious.

Cross-thread Operation Not Valid: Control 'Panel1' Accessed From A Thread Other Than The Thread It Was Created On." ?

Nov 3, 2011

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.
