Get Checked value of a checkBox from thread different of the UI thread

[Zeokat]

Well i know that i can´t play directly with values of winforms from different thread of the UI thread. But i have a thread and i need to obtain the value of a checkbox from that thread... how can i obtain the value?? Thanks in advance. :)

Create a Class "cls" :

class MyCls
{
public static bool MyCheckBoxValue;
}

and change this variable from your forms by call it like this :

MyCls.MyCheckBoxValue = true;

or

bool mybal = MyCls.MyCheckBoxValue;

I know nothing , I know nothing ...

Hi, for minimal run-time cost, give the Form that holds the CheckBox: 1. a private bool holding the state of the checkbox; 2. a CheckBox_CheckedChanged event handler, updating said variable; 3. a public property to get the value of said variable. this set-up avoids the need for Control.Invoke PS: don't forget to copy the initial CheckBox.Checked value in your form's constructor. :)

I have an other Thread t,and I can get the checkbox value from UI thread in Thread t. see follow source code.

    private void Form2\_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(deal));
        t.Name = "deal";
        t.IsBackground = true;
        t.Start();
    }

    void deal()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(checkBox1.Checked);
            Thread.Sleep(1000);
        }
    }
