WPF System.Windows.MessageBox.Show Dispatcher processing has been suspended, but messages are still being processed.

 private void SelectedCommandExecuted(object obj)
 {
     if (obj != null && obj is DataGrid dg)
     {
         if (dg != null)
         {
             var selectedBks = dg.SelectedItems;
             if (selectedBks != null && selectedBks.Count > 0)
             {
                 MessageBox.Show($"Selected {selectedBks.Count} Items",
                     "Multi Select", MessageBoxButton.OK);
             }
         }
     }
 }

 

 

 

 

The detailed exception as below.

System.InvalidOperationException
  HResult=0x80131509
  Message=Dispatcher processing has been suspended, but messages are still being processed.

The therapy is to use Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>{}) as below

private void SelectedCommandExecuted(object obj)
{
    Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
    {
        if (obj != null && obj is DataGrid dg)
        {
            if (dg != null)
            {
                var selectedBks = dg.SelectedItems;
                if (selectedBks != null && selectedBks.Count > 0)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show($"Selected {selectedBks.Count} Items",
                        "Multi Select", MessageBoxButton.OK);
                }
            }
        }
    }));
}
