“Not Responding” in window title when running in new process

Question

I have a long running method that must run on UI thread. (Devex - gridView.CopyToClipboard())

I do not need the UI to be responsive while c

Answer 1

I am afraid the simplest solution is to make your own CopyToClipboard() where you in your for loop, every now and then, do an Application.DoEvents, which keeps the ui thread responsive.

I guess most licenses of DevExpress have the source code available, so you can probably copy paste most if it.

Since you know the data you can probably make a much simpler procedure than the generic that DevExpress uses.

like this:

const int feedbackinterval = 1000;

private void btnCopy_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    StringBuilder txt2CB = new StringBuilder();
    int[] rows = gridView1.GetSelectedRows();

    if (rows == null) return;

    for (int n = 0; n < rows.Length; n++)
    {
        if ((n % feedbackinterval) == 0) Application.DoEvents();

        if (!gridView1.IsGroupRow(rows[n]))
        {
            var item = gridView1.GetRow(rows[n]) as vWorkOrder;
            txt2CB.AppendLine(String.Format("{0}\t{1}\t{2}",
            item.GroupCode, item.GroupDesc, item.note_no??0));
        }
     }
        Clipboard.SetText(txt2CB.ToString());
}
