ControlSafeInvoke Method

Invokes an event or delegate while taking into consideration the fact that controls are not thread-safe.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function ControlSafeInvoke( _
   ByVal multicast As System.MulticastDelegate, _
   ByVal ParamArray args() As System.Object _
) As System.Object

'Usage
 
Dim multicast As System.MulticastDelegate
Dim args() As System.Object
Dim value As System.Object
 
value = ArcMapUtilities.ControlSafeInvoke(multicast, args)

public static System.object ControlSafeInvoke( 
   System.MulticastDelegate multicast,
   params System.object[] args
)

Parameters

multicast: A multicast delegate (note: C# delegates are type System.MulticastDelegate).
args: The delegate arguments

Remarks

The only thread that may safely call a method on a control is the thread that created the control. Any other thread must marshal the call to the control's creating thread. This is done by calling the controls Invoke method. If the delegate is invoked from the control's thread then the delegate can be called directly; this is determined by checking the control's InvokeRequired property. %%
