Hello,
In my appliction I try to pop up a progress dialog box while an
analysis is being run:
//method progress window
public void Run(IWin32Windo w parent)
{
Thread analysisThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(run Analysis));
analysisThread. Start();
ShowDialog(pare nt);
}
so you see that I've sent the analysis off on another thread. Now
that's fine except in some situaitions I get an OpenGL error. This
seems to be because the analysis code is firing off the odd event,
some of which cause the application behind the modal progress box to
update itself. This doesn't seem very safe - the main loop updating
the main window + events from the new thread.
How can I fix this problem?
Please help, I'm stuck.
Thanks 2 6435
Bob,
In order to get around this, you have to check in your event handlers
whether or not you are on the UI thread or not. The easiest way to do this
is to call the InvokeRequired property on a control on the form, or the form
itself. If it returns true, then you have to call the Invoke method to
perform any kind of action that might affect the UI. You would pass a
delegate to the method you want to call, as well as the parameters to pass
to that method.
Hope this helps.

I am writing a program that analyzes a reinforced concrete column section.
The main form has an "Analysis" menu item that calls the main analysis
routines in a ColumnSection class. It also opens a modal form containing a
progress bar which shows the progess of the analysis.
i.e. FormProgress.ShowDialog
ColumnSection.Analyze
In the ColumnSection class I raise an event that updates the progress:
RaiseEvent OverallProgress(iProgress)

I've got a situation where I need to display a modal dialog from within a

always on top of the parent app's window, but the user can still access the
parent window and its controls.

Hi!
I'm working on a web application in Asp.net and what I would like to
have is a cross borwser modal dialog which accepts user's input.
I would like to catch what the user clicked on the dialog. To be more
specific I want to have a confirmation dialog that is shown when a user
clicks on a Delete button (which deletes some values from database). If
Yes is pressed the delete action is processed otherwise modal dialog is
closed.

Hope you might have seen the new version of yahoo mail. When you click an attachment in your mail, it pops up a window which shows the progress of SCAN. The user won't be able to close it or access yahoo mail until this process is complete and the "Done" button is enabled. This is like a modal dialog without controlbox (no minimize, maximize and close buttons).
I got a similar requirement in my project. When the user clicks the...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
