在C#中,从Main()方法开始一个默认的线程,一般称之为主线程,如果在这个进行一些非常耗CPU的计算,那么UI界面就会被挂起而处于假死状态,也就是说无法和用户进行交互了,特别是要用类似进度条来实时显示一些提示信息的时候,这种情况就显得很糟糕。如果多开一些线程来完成一些耗时的计算,那么工作线程也是无法如此更新UI界面中的元素的,比如直接显示一个提示信息:label1.Text=outstring,原因很简单UI属于默认的主线程,而线程间是不能这样直接访问彼此的成员的。
如果要解决以上的两个问题,那么可以借助C#中的Delegate和控件类中的Invoke()方法来搞定。
这里给出的例子比较简单,主要思路是:在Main()中启动其它的线程作为后台进程,其中一个线程是实时显示当前的时间,一个线程是显示一些随机数,这样一来三个线程同时运行,彼此通过代理来联系。
其实在C# 2.0 中所有的Control类都有Invoke()方法,如果负责更新UI元素的函数不是定义在Main()中,那么必须首先检测Control类中的InvokeRequired属性。举个例子吧,注意setProgressBarValue()函数中调用自己的方式.
//在工作线程中更新主窗口进度条
public void setProgressBarValue(ProgressBar progressBar1,int value)
{
if (progressBar1.InvokeRequired)
{
object[] parameters = new object[] { value };
progressBar1.Invoke(new setProgressBarValueDelegate(setProgressBarValue), parameters);
}
else
progressBar1.Value = value;
}
