Backgroundworke r to populate a TreeView

All,

I have a treeview on my form that has a lot of nodes on it. I would
like to populate this treeview on another thread so my form will still
paint while it is being populated.

I have looked at the Backgroundworke r object (and dragged one onto my
form) and several other newsgroup threads. What I don't understand is
that I can't access the treeview control in the sub that is handling
the DoWork event (I get the error that I can't access a control that
was created on a different thread.). How do I add my nodes to the
control if it is on a different thread. I'm probably missing something
obvious here!

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

if you are on .NET 2.0 why not just use a virtual list view? it would let
you have virtualy unlimited number of nodes show up instantly

Hi Dave,

Before looking at the Backgroundworke r class of .NET 2.0, take a look at the
basics and once you understand it you can take advantage of that class of
..NET 2.0:

Hi, I'm trying to populate a TreeView from an existing and filled in ListView (lvwBuild). lvwBuild is a basic two column listview which can have any number of rows. I would like the first column of lvwBuild to be a node and the second column to be a branch on the TreeView (hopefully I have the syntax correct). I've been researching how to do this but have come up empty. I'm guessing that you would fill an array from lvwBuild and...

I have an application that creates a pretty intensive TreeView at startup time. I had the program running on a single thread sucessfully, but the startup time was a bit excessive. When the application starts up it is a requirement for the user to log on, so in my magical wisdom, I thought shove all this processing on another thread, so it loads while the user logs on. I have all the code running on the thread OK, but I cannot figure out how...

Overview: 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,...
