Hello
I have a form which contains a Listview control that is filled with data as
the program runs. This all works fine, but I want to also then do a certain
process on this data at the same time.
Because of the way the data is received into the control (from an event out
of my hands) my processing causes problems as it is time-intensive. So, I
figure my processing should go in a separate thread so it can work without
stopping the information coming into the 'box. So far so good.
But how do I read and modify the items in the ListView from the other
thread? I have just started moving the code into another class that will
become the new thread and my control name gets underlined as not being
declared. Putting the form name in front (i.e. myForm.lstProgr ess) also
won't work.
Any thoughts? I saw an article on oassing data to and from threads with
callbacks and so on but will this work to link directly to a control?
Thanks
James.

You'll have to pass a reference which points to the form's or control's
instance to the second class. Note that you must not access the
form/control from another thread directly. Instead, use
'Control.Invoke Required', 'Control.Invoke ', and 'Control.BeginI nvoke':

Hi,
Since you can pass a refernce to the listview when you start a
thread you need to create a class that will handle it for you. Try
something like this.
Public Class MyThreadHelper
Dim mlv As ListView
Dim trd As Threading.Threa d
Public Sub New(ByRef lv As ListView)
mlv = lv
End Sub
Public Sub startthread()
If trd Is Nothing Then trd = New Threading.Threa d(AddressOf mylongprocess)
trd.Start()
End Sub
Private Sub mylongprocess()
' use mlv to access the listview
End Sub
End Class

Thanks to both of you, the reference idea seems to work a treat. I'll now
look through the link Herfried gave to make sure it's reliable.

I have some code that adds new records into a table for each ID in a list
box when a button on a form is clicked. This works fine. My problem now is
that I wish to be able to edit all the records for people whose ID is in the
list box. I made minor changes to the code (mainly replacing rs.AddNew with
rs.Edit)and it appears to be updating only the first record and then
overwriting that record with the next, etc until it runs out of ID's...

Hi all,
I've got a basic TCP app that is giving me trouble. I have a separate

is received, the connection is closed and I fire an event indicating all
is finished. The event is handled in the main form of the application

is there an easy to follow, source code in one document, article that
explains how to create an edit all DataGrid control?
and, I have a DataGrid setup where the client enters information for
each row by clicking Edit-Update for each row. Each row has several
columns, is there anyway to move the Edit function to edit each column
individually for each row in the DataGrid?

Hi,
I have a periodic problem which I am having a real time trying to sort.
Background:
An MDI VB app with a DB on SQL 2000.
I have wrapped all the DB access into an object which spawns a thread to
access the database and then displays a modal dialog which allows the user
to cancel the task, if it is taking longer than they want, and shows them a
display of how long the query has been running so far.

I have a DataGrid and accept button. My problem is when a user starts to
edit one of the values in the grid and does not either press Enter or move
of the current cell and presses the Accept buton the current typed value
does not get passed into the grid, but stays in the edit mode. How can I
move the current edit value into the grid without requireing user to press
Enter or move to a different cell?
Thanks

A Form has a DataGrid which displays records from a SQL Server 2005 DB
table. Users can modify the records using this DataGrid for which I am
using EditCommandColumn in the DataGrid. This is the code:

Hi,
i have a main thread an another worker thread.
The main Thread creates another thread and waits
for the threads signal to continue the main thread.
Everything works inside a ModalDialog and everyting
is secured by Invoke/BeginInvoke, and synchronisation
primitves like WaitHandles, Evetns, Semaphores, etc...
All works good and with no race conditions or locks.

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,...
