Hello, I thought I was doing things right when I created a delegate to call a function to access the container's data, but it still throws an exception.
I have something similar to:
public ref class myform : public System::Windows::Forms::Form
{
private: System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox^ form_combobox;
private: delegate String^ getItemDel();//<-- delegate
private: String^ GetComboboxSelectedItem(){ //<-- function I call with a delegate.
return form_combobox->SelectedItem->ToString();
}
private: Thread ^work_thread;//<-- used to run DoWork() in a new thread.
private: void DoWork() { //<-- worker function that accesses the combobox data.
//access container's data.
getItemDel ^f = gcnew getItemDel(this, &myform::GetComboboxSelectedItem);
String ^result = f->Invoke();//<-- ** problem **
}
};Sorry, I've done my best to condense it. I thought that was the accepted way to access the data, I must be mistaken.
It throws an exception saying I'm not supposed to access the container's data from a different thread.
