Thread Synchronization updating form

[Claire]

When we wanted to update a vcl window from a thread in Delphi, we needed to
call the Synchronize method. This would make sure that the thread would
wait to synchronze with the process before attempting to update a control.
Ive a status bar on my main form who's text is updated during thread
activity.
I assume i have to do something similar in C#. Can someone show me how to do
it please?

Hi,

Yep, it;s Control.Invoke you can use any control defined in the UI thread.

cheers,

Check out Ted Pattison's article in MSDN Magazine about updating the UI
from secondary threads

Unfortunately the code is VB.Net not C# but it does show the issues and
ideas well.



hth,
