使用多线程提高 Windows 窗体应用程序的性能时,必须注意以线程安全方式调用控件。
.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,并显示以下消息:“从不是创建控件控件名称 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。
说明:
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。

对 Windows 窗体控件的非线程安全调用
对 Windows 窗体控件的非线程安全调用方式是从辅助线程直接调用。调用应用程序时,调试器会引发一个 InvalidOperationException,警告对控件的调用不是线程安全的。
// This event handler creates a thread that calls a // Windows Forms control in an unsafe way. private void setTextUnsafeBtn_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { this.demoThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.ThreadProcUnsafe)); this.demoThread.Start(); } // This method is executed on the worker thread and makes // an unsafe call on the TextBox control. private void ThreadProcUnsafe() { this.textBox1.Text = "This text was set unsafely."; }
对 Windows 窗体控件进行线程安全调用
-
查询控件的 InvokeRequired 属性。
-
如果 InvokeRequired 返回 true,则使用实际调用控件的委托来调用 Invoke。
-
如果 InvokeRequired 返回 false,则直接调用控件。
在下面的代码示例中,此逻辑是在一个称为 SetText 的实用工具方法中实现的。名为 SetTextDelegate 的委托类型封装 SetText 方法。TextBox 控件的 InvokeRequired 返回 true 时,SetText 方法创建 SetTextDelegate 的一个实例,并调用窗体的 Invoke 方法。这使得 SetText 方法被创建 TextBox 控件的线程调用,而且在此线程上下文中将直接设置 Text 属性。
// This event handler creates a thread that calls a // Windows Forms control in a thread-safe way. private void setTextSafeBtn_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { this.demoThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.ThreadProcSafe)); this.demoThread.Start(); } // This method is executed on the worker thread and makes // a thread-safe call on the TextBox control. private void ThreadProcSafe() { this.SetText("This text was set safely."); }
// This method demonstrates a pattern for making thread-safe // calls on a Windows Forms control. // // If the calling thread is different from the thread that // created the TextBox control, this method creates a // SetTextCallback and calls itself asynchronously using the // Invoke method. // // If the calling thread is the same as the thread that created // the TextBox control, the Text property is set directly. private void SetText(string text) { // InvokeRequired required compares the thread ID of the // calling thread to the thread ID of the creating thread. // If these threads are different, it returns true. if (this.textBox1.InvokeRequired) { SetTextCallback d = new SetTextCallback(SetText); this.Invoke(d, new object[] { text }); } else { this.textBox1.Text = text; } }
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。
