Invoking main thread in plugin to call DisplayToast by ketchup_blade on 07-07-2005 at 01:26 PM
I'm a C# programmer, not really a VB.net programmer, and I am unable yet to get back to the main thread of my plugin (that I'm coding in VB.net).
Desc: I have my plugin thread in VB.net that is calling some library I wrote in C# which generate an event that my plugin receives on callback. However, since the event is not generated on the main thread, when I call DisplayToast, nothing shows up (which is normal as stated by this line in the function definition of DisplayToast by Patchou) : "Technical Note: the message must be sent from the same thread Initialize() was called, else, Messenger Plus! will reject the call for security reasons."
Question: how can I use delegates in VB.net to get back to my main thread? Normally using C#, I would do something like this to get to my main thread:
public delegate void CompletedMyFunctionDelegate( bool callSuccess );
private void CompletedMyFunction(bool callSuccess)
{
if( this.InvokeRequired )
{
this.Invoke(new CompletedMyFunctionDelegate(CompletedMyFunction), new object[] { callSuccess });
return;
}
// other code here running on main thread
}
any help from VB.net programmers would be appreciated.
thanks.

Does VB.NET not have this 'delegates' feature? Given the .NET runtime and the Common Language schnazz, it should be possible to mix-and-match VB.NET and C# - it's just a case of getting the right keywords.
