Hi Tom,
As Miha pointed out, Windows forms controls are inherently not
thread safe. So in effect, there may not be any guarantee that the
next time the list box is updated, it might succeed. In fact, we might
get the same marshalling error seen for the TreeView.
So if you mainpulate these controls from any thread
other then the main thread that owns the control,
it is safer to use Control.Invoke() to update the control.
For example:
To add an item to the ListBox from another thread:
delegate void AddToListBoxDelegate(String item);
// ...
if(listBox.InvokeRequired)
{
// Called from another thread ...
_listBox.Invoke(new AddToListBoxDelegate(Add,
new Object[] {"Hello"}));
}
else
{
_listBox.Items.Add("Hello");
}
// ...
public void Add(String item)
{
_listBox.Items.Add(item);
}
Regards,

Hi Everybody
I can add some thing to ListBox from a new thread but can not add a node
into a TreeView and get an exception that says you need marshaling. What is
the difference and why?
Thanks in advance for any reply,
Tom
