Setting Property for control in AsynchCallback

1 New Member
I have a Button Created in .NET Windows Form.

In a AsyncCallBack Procedure, I need to change the enabled property of the button to false. I tried using Reflection.Prop ertyInfo.

The Code goes like this
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. Dim pi As System.Reflection.PropertyInfo = btnLogin.GetType.GetProperty("Enabled")
  3. pi.SetValue(btnLogin, False, Nothing)
  4.  
  5.  
But I am getting an exception thrown

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
System.InvalidO perationExcepti on: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'btnLogin' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
at System.Windows. Forms.Control.g et_Handle()
at System.Windows. Forms.Control.O nEnabledChanged (EventArgs e)
at System.Windows. Forms.ButtonBas e.OnEnabledChan ged(EventArgs e)
at System.Windows. Forms.Control.s et_Enabled(Bool ean value)

But if I create a button control on runtime and try to assign property using reflection, then there is no error.

Please let me know
how can I refer the instance of the btnLogin button created in the form at desing time into a
runtime created button object.

Thanks in advance.

I am writing a control that relies on its host to validate the contents of one of its fields. The control fires a custom 'FooNeedsValidating' event and passes the field's data with the event. The host handles the event, validates the data and returns the validation results to the control by a callback to a control method, SetFooError(). All of that works great. If the host returns false on the validation, I display an error glyph next to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
