Hi all,
I ran into a headache problem. I have a windows form with a progress
bar on it. Then I new a thread to do calculation for a long time. I
want the progress bar to show the calculation progress. So I use a
shared variable in calculation thread to allow main thread read it
periodically in order to show the progress. Quesion comes out. If I
just wait and don't make any operation during the whole calculation,
the main form is OK, with progress bar increased step by step. But If
I click other application or just drag the form, main form will have
no response until the calculation finished. At first I think that
maybe the calculation is too tight to be a circle. So I add several
sleep() in it. But this method is of no use. I have no idea this time.
Anybody can help me? Thanks in advance!

Does the main thread launch your worker thread and then immediately enter
some loop to periodically check the shared variable? It certainly appears
that way and if so then it's not correct. You can Google for "Windows
message loops" to understand why but to correct the problem you may want to
have a look at the "BackgroundWork er" class. It's designed to handle exactly
what you're trying to do although you can still resort to other conventional
means if you want (once you read up on Windows message loops but why bother
when "BackgroundWork er" makes life easier).

Hi Larry,
BackgroundWorke r, really cool. That works!
I think over for my periodical checking status in main thread, that
should be blocked in main form. But what about using a timer, I
haven't tried that. My intuition is that timer maybe OK. Anyway, I'll
spend my time in studying Windows message loops after finishing. Thank
you very much! This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
In my program, the user can navigate to many different
forms. When they go to the next form, I want the form they
have left to close.
However, the forms aren't closing. Can anyone tell me what
I'm doing wrong? Here is a sample snippet of code where
the user can return to the main form while simultaneously
closing the previous form.

Hi All
I'm looking for some help on creating a basic multi threaded
application.
i'n new to threads in this environment so for test purposes I've
produced a very basic program. (which doesn't work)
Calling the 2 methods directly has the desired effect however when I
try to impelment them as threads nothing happens.

All,
I have a UI form calling a class object that contains a timer that
routinely draws intensive information to the screen (~30 fps). The
drawing is invoked on the main UI thread. I need the user to be able
to interact with the UI while the drawing is happening (dynamically
change drawing properties). Since the drawing is happening on the main
UI thread, the UI form doesn't receive the user control events
consistently (if at all).

There are three possible status types; 'AC (App Complete), AI (App Incomplete), and UR (Under Review)'. ...

Got a test web page, that basically has two "<html" tags in it. Examining

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
