问题
I'm creating a backup utility in WPF and have a general question about threading:
In the method backgroundWorker.DoWork(), the statement Message2.Text = "..." gives the error "The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.".
Is there no way for me to directly access the UI thread within backgroundWorker.DoWork(), i.e. change text in a XAML TextBox at that point? Or do I need to store all display information in an internal variable, and then display it in backgroundWorker.ProgressChanged(), as I had to do with e.g. percentageFinished?
XAML:
<Window x:Class="TestCopyFiles111.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="350" Width="525">
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"
Margin="10">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<Button x:Name="Button_Start"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
DockPanel.Dock="Top"
Content="Start Copying"
Click="Button_Start_Click"

<Button x:Name="Button_Cancel"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
DockPanel.Dock="Top"
Content="Cancel"
Click="Button_Cancel_Click"
Height="25"
Width="200"/>
</StackPanel>
<ProgressBar x:Name="ProgressBar"
DockPanel.Dock="Top"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"

<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Top" x:Name="Message" Margin="0 10 0 0"/>

<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Top" x:Name="Message2" Margin="0 10 0 0"/>
</DockPanel>
</Window>

回答1:
Have you looked at using Dispatcher.Invoke?
Dispatcher.Invoke(new Action(() => { Button_Start.Content = i.ToString(); }));
Or use BeginInvoke if you want something to happen asynchronously.
回答2:
Your best option is to continue using .ReportProgress and .ProgressChanged. Is there a particular reason this isn't sufficient?
回答3:
There's no way you can directly access the UI from another thread. The only solution is to raise an event in the thread and then catch it in the UI thread.
If you don't want to use a BackgroundWorker thread you'll need something like this to raise the event in the thread:
// Final update
if (Library_Finished != null)
{
Library_Finished(this, null);
}
which is declared like this:
public event EventHandler Library_Finished;
Then you'll need something like this in the UI thread to catch and process the event:
private void Library_Finished(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Action action = () => FinalUpdate();
if (Thread.CurrentThread != Dispatcher.Thread)
{
Dispatcher.Invoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Normal, action);
}
else
{
action();
}
}
But even if you use a BackgroundWorker you'll still need to implement the thread checking code before accessing the UI elements.
