Has anyone come across this exception before when dealing with C#
graphics? Have come across some answers that point to the
accelleration control under the screen's
properties/settings/advanced/troubleshooting .
ie the graphics driver.
Other answers include disposing, revalidate.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It occurs when I have my GUI is operating fine and I move the Windows
FORM accross the screen. Microsoft report it as a bug, but only for
the PCTABLET.

talljames,
Without seeing what it is you are trying to do, or the calls you are
making, it's difficult to offer anything. Can you show a sample of what the
problem is?

Bit hard to post the code. But basically I have a clock in a windows
form using the Threading.Timer (as this one is able to operate in a
multithreaded environment). I set the clock off and running. Then I
grab the form with the mouse and move it accross the screen. That's
when the following exception occurs.
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Invalid OperationExcept ion'
occurred in system.windows. forms.dll
Additional information: The object is currently in use elsewhere.
Can't seem to track down the error. I have tried it on both Windows
XP and Windows 2000. On the 2000 box I changed the acceleration and
it fixed it. But, this doesn't work with XP.
Any ideas?

What happens if you stop the clock while you move it? Then you'd have to
jump ahead to the correct time when it is released...

Thanks for the posting Mabden. Not much luck with stopping the clock.
The other error I can sometimes get is :
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullRef erenceException '
occurred in system.windows. forms.dll
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.
I am using grfx.save to write some graphics in the background with the
use of drawLine, drawEllipse, drawRectangle, etc then I am restoring
it so that I can reduce the flicker in the clock. Code is very
similar to Petzoid's book "Programmin g Windows with C#".
When I try and move the windows form it crashes. Have looked at a
snippet of code involving getHdc(), but I shouldn't have to go this
far I don't think.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

One possible cause for the "The object is currently in use elsewhere"
problem is if you access UI elements (forms or other controls) from non-UI
threads. If you are using multi-threaded code, then I'd double check it. One
way to do this is to put this assert as the first line of methods in your UI
classes:
System.Diagnost ics.Debug.Asser t(!this.InvokeR equired, "InvokeRequired ");
Then run your application and if you hit the assert, you know you've got a
threading problem. Or, if you don't hit the assert, then at least you've
ruled out this potential problem.

Sami
Thanks Sami,
I placed that line of code just after my InitializeCompo nent(); in the
constructor of my main UI. Yep, and something else happened. I ran
the .NET application, got the clock working and then attempted to
move the windows form on one machine and this is the error I get.
An unhandled exception of type
'System.Runtime .InteropService s.SEHException' occurred in
system.windows. forms.dll
Additional information: External component has thrown an exception.
Will do some web surfing to try and figure out what it means.
thanks again for your posting.
with regards
James
Well, I placed a try and catch around the main application.run and
this is what I get. Anyone with a suggestion?

Yes, after hours of tracking down the bug, it looks like a thread and
main UI problem. I wish that Microsoft had an easier solution to
this rather than have to create invokes. I ended up having to create
an event and then subscribe to that event in the main form and then
run the invoke as just placing a delegate and invoke solution did not
do the trick in this case.
Also, the .NET Invoke method does not like to be placed in a static
method.
This error did not leave me with any clues as to where it came from ie
no method names from my code or line numbers. Another thing that
Microsoft could have in the debugger, if possible.
So, what I thought was perhaps a DataGrid/Table on a form problem
turned out to be a thread problem after all. Hope this helps others
out there on this error as there was little around on the web. This
problem crashed the app.
