Hi peoples....
This is a pain in the ass:
Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'TextBox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
I am trying to update the text in the textbox when data is recieved on the new SerialPort control.
So I added the following: -
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
-
Dim tmp As Integer
-
Dim chr As String
-
-
tmp = Me.SerialPort1.ReadChar
-
chr = System.Convert.ToChar(tmp)
-
Me.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text & chr
-
End Sub
-
Which yields the previous error.
So I add the things described in: How to: Make Thread-Safe Calls to Windows Forms Controls from the MSDN but I must have done something wrong: -
Delegate Sub addtotextboxPROX(ByVal [text] As String)
-
-
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
-
Dim tmp As Integer
-
Dim chr As String
-
-
tmp = Me.SerialPort1.ReadChar
-
chr = System.Convert.ToChar(tmp)
-
Me.addtotextbox(chr)
-
-
-
End Sub
-
Private Sub addtotextbox(ByVal txt As String)
-
If Me.TextBox1.InvokeRequired Then
-
Dim d As New addtotextboxPROX(AddressOf addtotextbox)
-
Me.Invoke(d, New Object() {[Text]})
-
Else
-
Me.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text & [Text]
-
End If
-
-
End Sub
-
And now I get the name of the form "Form1" appended to the text box!?!?!
Can somebody please explain to me how all this stuff is supposed to work coz I can't make head nor tails of it. I've never dealt with threads before in VB but clearly it's running the code for the SerialPort control in another thread.
Please please please help

OK - the following lines were wrong: - Me.Invoke(d, New Object() {[Text]})
-
Else
-
Me.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text & [Text]
Should have read: - Me.Invoke(d, New Object() {txt})
-
Else
-
Me.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text & txt
Just looking at things from the wrong point of view. It works now, but it would still be nice if someone could explain it to me :S
Cheers,
Rave-n
