selectednode in Treeview lost when accessed by spawned Thread

Hello,

I am trying to spawn a sunroutine in a worker thread for populating a
trreeview. I set the selectednode and then start the thread. However, the
thread errors because the selectednode was found to equal "Nothing".

Is there some kind of trick to get the threaded subroutine to see the
selectednode to process?

Thank you inadvance for any assistance.

Dean.

Dean,

You can't access a form or control from a thread other than the main UI
thread. That doesn't mean you can't take advantage of threads though.
What I would do is use my worker thread to retrieve the list of items
from the database or whatever and place them in some type of collection
and then call Control.BeginIn voke at the end of the worker thread to
marshal the execution of a delegate onto the UI thread. That delegate
would build the treeview from the collection you just populated.

The following is an excellent introduction to using threads in Windows
forms.

Hi, I have a Windows Explorer-like treeview that displays directories. After a cut/paste operation, I want the treeview to display the folder where the paste happened. But, I'm running into a problem following the assignment of the selectednode in the treeview. Here's the relevant code: // separate the node names string split = mcurrentPath.Split(new Char {'\\'});

Hi, I have a treeview, called Treeview1 with one father node and some children nodes. Number of children nodes can change since every child node is a file name that the user add through an Open DialogBox. I'd like the user to be able to remove one or more children nodes by selecting them. But if I use the following syntax: Dim Mynode As TreeNode Mynode = TreeView1.SelectedNode.Nodes(0) Mynode.Remove()

Hi, I'm current having a problem with the treeview control and multi threading. The treeview is on a form. A request is then sent to a server using IP for the data.

I cant however seem to set the "SelectedNode" property or the treeview. I have tried directly and also using a delegate. I all cases, the UI...

I am using a TreeView with data stored in a database and have been trying to store a node index over a postback and re-select the node without using javascript. I couldn't find anything in these groups to answer my question, so I thought somebody might find this method useful. You can use the TreeNode.ValuePath to select a node using the TreeView.FindNode() method.

Hello, I have an app that has a custom treeview which inherits the base treeview class and I am having a problem with the way the treeview is being redrawn.

My code to create the ghost image is as follows: this.NodeToBeDeleted =...

When I set the SelectedNode programmatically, how come the AfteSelect doesn't fire? Other controls (i.e. combobox) I believe do fire the SelectedIndexChanged when you programmatically update the control. Is this just a quirk of the TreeView? Thanks.

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,...
