Just read a good article to do cross-thread calling in an easy and elegant way.
It is amazing for its simplicity and elegancy:
1 static class ControlExtensions 2 { 3 public static void InvokeOnOwnerThread<T>(this T control, Action<T> invoker) where T : Control 4 { 5 if (control.InvokeRequired) 6 control.Invoke(invoker, control); 7 else 8 invoker(control); 9 } 10 }
Only 10 lines to make the further calling a single line and extremely easy to read, very beautiful the way I like.
private void UpdateTextBoxFromSomeThread(string message) { textBox1.InvokeOnOwnerThread((txtBox) => txtBox.Text = message); }
Would like to give all the credits to its author.
