Help me with that CrossThread?

Question

This code is executed by many way. When it\'s executed by the form button it works (the button start a thread and in the loop it call this method = it works). BUT it doesn\'

Answer 1

You need to return at the end of the if block - otherwise you'll resize it in the right thread, and then do it in the wrong thread as well.

In other words (if you'd cut and paste the code instead of a picture, this would have been easier...)

private void resizeThreadSafe(int width, int height)
{
    if (this.form.InvokeRequired)
    {
        this.form.Invoke(new DelegateSize(resizeThreadSafe,
            new object[] { width, height });
        return;
    }
    this.form.Size = new Size(width, height);
    this.form.Location = new Point(0, SystemInformation.MonitorSize // whatever comes next
}

Alternatively just put the second half of the method in an "else" block.

Answer 2

Depending on your coding style either use return right after the Invoke or put the actual action as an else block.

Answer 3

You need write this:

if ( this.form.InvokeRequired ) {
    this.form.Invoke( ...... );
    return;
}
this.form.Size = new Sizte( ... );

OR

if ( this.form.InvokeRequired ) {
    this.form.Invoke( ...... );
}
else {
    this.form.Size = new Sizte( ... );
}
