Cross-thread Winforms control editing [duplicate]
how can I edit the text in a windows form element if the code that is editing the text 'belongs' to a seperate thread from the one that contains the windows form? I get the exception:
Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'textBox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
Thank you.
Solution 1:
You will need to use Control.Invoke method like this:
textbox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)(() =>
{
textbox1.Text="some text";
}));
