A complete program using Threads. Can this program be shorter

T

Tony Johansson

Hi!

Here is a complete working program that is using BackgroundWorker(threads).
When button 1 is pushed red square is being drawn on the panel.
If you push again you stop drawing.
It's the same principle with all three buttons.

Button 1 is drawing red square
Button 2 is drawing green circles
Button 3 is drawing blue rectangle

I find my program to long. is it possible to make it shorter by using some
alternative or perhaps better solution ?
What bother me is that each button is toggles between start Thread
respectivily stop Thread.
Can this be done in another way ?

uses the tag property of the buttons to determine which button is pressed
and passes it to the do work. Of course I didn't enter any error checking.
