Check to see if a thread in another form is still running

问题

I have a Windows Form application that involves two Forms. The child form is used to export data into CSV files, and uses a background worker to write the file. While this is occurring I have the form hidden. The parent form is still active while the background worker is running, so the user can exit the application, even when the background worker is writing files. On the parent form I have added a FormClosing event handler to prompt the user if a background worker is still running. The problem I am encountering is accessing the background worker in the parent form. Here is what I tried...

    private void MainForm_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
    {
        ExportForm eForm = new ExportForm(GridView, TableName, GridProgressBar, ProgressLabel);

        if (eForm.PartWorker.IsBusy == true)
            MessageBox.Show("Busy");
    }

The problem will this is that it is creating a new instance of the Child Form, so the background worker will never have true for it's IsBusy attribute. How could I access this background worker in my parent form so I can check to see if this condition is true.

Here is the code for the PartWorker BackgroundWorker...

    #region PartWorker Events

    void PartWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
    {
        GetSwitch();
        int batchNum = 0;
        bool done = false;
        ProgressLabel.Visible = true;

        while (!done)
        {
            for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(100);
                PartWorker.ReportProgress(i);
            }

            done = Export.ExportPartition(SaveFile, DataTable, 50000, batchNum++);
        }
    }

    void PartWorker_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        Progress.Style = ProgressBarStyle.Blocks;
        Progress.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;
        //May want to put the file name that is being written here.
        ProgressLabel.Text = "Writing File: " + e.ProgressPercentage.ToString()  +"% Complete";
    }

    void PartWorker_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
        Progress.Value = 100;
        ProgressLabel.Visible = false;
        Progress.Visible = false;
        MessageBox.Show("Files sucessfully created!", "Files Saved", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
        PartWorker.Dispose();
        this.Close();
    }
    #endregion

回答1:

Hold a reference to the child form in the main form:

class MainForm : Form {
    private ExportForm exportForm;

    // assign exportForm wherever the child form is created
}

Next, in your ExportForm, create a property that indicates that the form is still busy.
This is a better approach than accessing its BackgroundWorker (read: encapsulation).

class ExportForm : Form {
    public bool IsBusy {
        get { return this.PartWorker.IsBusy; }
    }
}

Then do the check in the main form by accessing the newly created property:

void MainForm_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.exportForm.IsBusy)
        MessageBox.Show("Busy");
}

回答2:

Create a singleton business object which holds the background worker, or a collection of background workers (if you may have multiple). Create your background worker from the child form into this singleton and it will be accessible to all in the app domain.
