Hello. I need to activate a Timer control from other thread, so I think I have to use the Invoke method. As Timer don't have the InvokeRequired property as buttons and other controls, how can I do that?
Regards, Diego F.
You create a method on your form that sets whatever you need on the Timer control. You can check the InvokeRequired of the form instead of the Timer control. Since the form's based Timer works on the UI thread, the Form is on the same UI thread and will tell you if InvokeRequired. You Invoke the method you write from your other thread...
