如何从另一个线程调用或BeginInvoke控件

Question

from the class I am calling thread with

using (GeckoBrowserForm geckoBrowserForm = new GeckoBrowserForm(XulRunnerPath, propertyBag.ResponseUri.ToString()))
{
    geckoBrowserForm.show();
}

that execute UI form OnLoad(EventArgs e)

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    GeckoWebBrowser m_GeckoWebBrowser = new GeckoWebBrowser();
    m_GeckoWebBrowser.Invoke(new Action(() => {
                m_GeckoWebBrowser.Parent = this;
                m_GeckoWebBrowser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
                m_GeckoWebBrowser.DocumentCompleted += (s, ee) =>
                {    
                    GeckoHtmlElement element = null;
                    var geckoDomElement = m_GeckoWebBrowser.Document.DocumentElement;
                    if (geckoDomElement != null && geckoDomElement is GeckoHtmlElement)
                    {
                        element = (GeckoHtmlElement)geckoDomElement;
                        DocumentDomHtml = element.InnerHtml;
                    }



      if (m_Url.Equals(m_GeckoWebBrowser.Document.Url.ToString(), StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
                    {
                        Done = true;
                        //m_GeckoWebBrowser.Navigate("about:blank");
                        //m_GeckoWebBrowser.Document.Cookie = "";
                        //m_GeckoWebBrowser.Stop();
                    }
                };

                m_GeckoWebBrowser.Navigate(m_Url);
            }));
}

but problem is that code inside Invoke is never executed. Why? How can i execute code inside invoke?

Problem is that GeckoBrowser is a Windows Forms Control. A Control's properties and methods may be called only from the thread on which the Control was created. To do anything with a Control from another thread, you need to use the Invoke or BeginInvoke method, eg but how?

Answer 1

OnLoad is called on the UI-thread, therefore invoking is not necessary. Besides that, you could also call these initialization steps in the constructor of the class.

Update : To create it with a SynchronizationContext:

void ThreadFunc(object args)
{
    ...
    var syncContext = (SynchronizationContext) args;
    syncContext.Send(new SendOrPostCallback(_ => {
        using (GeckoBrowserForm geckoBrowserForm = new GeckoBrowserForm(XulRunnerPath, propertyBag.ResponseUri.ToString()))
        {
            geckoBrowserForm.ShowDialog();
        }),
        null);
    ...
}
