对 Windows 窗体控件进行线程安全调用

访问 Windows 窗体控件本质上不是线程安全的。如果有两个或多个线程操作某一控件的状态，则可能会迫使该控件进入一种不一致的状态。还可能出现其他与线程相关的 bug，包括争用情况和死锁。确保以线程安全方式访问控件非常重要。

.NET Framework 有助于在以非线程安全方式访问控件时检测到这一问题。在调试器中运行应用程序时，如果创建某控件的线程之外的其他线程试图调用该控件，则调试器会引发一个 InvalidOperationException，并提示消息：“从不是创建控件 control name 的线程访问它。”

此异常在调试期间和运行时的某些情况下可靠地发生。强烈建议您在显示此错误信息时修复此问题。在调试以 .NET Framework 2.0 版之前的 .NET Framework 编写的应用程序时，可能会出现此异常。

注意
可以通过将 CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls 属性的值设置为 false 来禁用此异常。这会使控件以与在 Visual Studio 2003 下相同的方式运行。

下面的代码示例演示如何从辅助线程以线程安全方式和非线程安全方式调用 Windows 窗体控件。它演示一种以非线程安全方式设置 TextBox 控件的 Text 属性的方法，还演示两种以线程安全方式设置 Text 属性的方法。

使用 BackgroundWorker 进行的线程安全调用
在应用程序中实现多线程的首选方式是使用 BackgroundWorker 组件。BackgroundWorker 组件使用事件驱动模型实现多线程。辅助线程运行 DoWork 事件处理程序，创建控件的线程运行 ProgressChanged 和 RunWorkerCompleted 事件处理程序。注意不要从 DoWork 事件处理程序调用您的任何控件。
下面的代码示例不异步执行任何工作，因此没有 DoWork 事件处理程序的实现。TextBox 控件的 Text 属性在 RunWorkerCompleted 事件处理程序中直接设置。
 
// This event handler starts the form's 
// BackgroundWorker by calling RunWorkerAsync.
//
// The Text property of the TextBox control is set
// when the BackgroundWorker raises the RunWorkerCompleted
// event.
private void setTextBackgroundWorkerBtn_Click(
    object sender, 
    EventArgs e)
{
    this.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();
}
// This event handler sets the Text property of the TextBox
// control. It is called on the thread that created the 
// TextBox control, so the call is thread-safe.
//
// BackgroundWorker is the preferred way to perform asynchronous
// operations.
private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(
    object sender, 
    RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    this.textBox1.Text = 
        "This text was set safely by BackgroundWorker.";
}
 
Windows 窗体上的 ActiveX 控件
 
 

  
  
如果在窗体上使用 ActiveX 控件，则在调试器下运行时可能会收到线程间 InvalidOperationException。发生这种情况时，ActiveX 控件不支持多线程处理。有关使用 Windows 窗体的 ActiveX 控件的更多信息，请参见 Windows 窗体和非托管应用程序。
  
  
如果您使用的是 Visual Studio，则可以通过禁用 Visual Studio 宿主进程来防止此异常发生。
