Illegal cross-thread operation:

Illegal cross-thread operation: Control 'PopupInfo' accessed from a thread
other than the thread it was created on.

Can I track this down using the debugger?

Thanks.

Well, you shouldn't have too many bits of code accessing a control
anyway - it should be fairly simple to find the bit which is doing it
from the wrong thread.

The above looks like the message from an exception though - why not
just change your exception handling to print out the whole stack trace
rather than just the message?

You can't access a control property from one thread that was created on
another.

Create a delegate that is invoked from your new thread but handled on your
main thread. Inside the delegate handler, make the UI changes your require.

I would just look at your code for the threads, the figure out which is
accessing "PopupInfo" .

You need to setup delegate(s) if you want to access the control from another
thread.

Hi,

It should be easy, it's a method that access PopupInfo that that is used
from a thread, see what methods you are using to run threads and start from
there, also do as Jon said.

Note that if you do the same thing ( updating a control from a worker
thread) from more than one point you need to change them all. so even if you
know the s ourc of the current problem you potentialy have more problems
somewhere else.
cheers,

Dropping schemas and "illegal seek"

Bug with compiler or am I just doing something illegal

by: raphfrk | last post by:

This program should copy one file onto the other. It works if I compile it with gcc to a cygwin program. However, if I compile it with the -mno-cygwin option, it doesn't work (this targets native windows). Anyway, I just want to check that the program is valid before I see if I can find a way around a compiler bug. It might be something simple that I am doing wrong.
