在阻止主线程的同时允许回调

Question

Given the following Code:

public static void main()
{
    NotifyWindow.NotifyIcon.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(NotifyIconDoubleClick);
    NotifyWindow.Show(500, "some text", "some title");
    Thread.Sleep(10000);
}

private static void NotifyIconDoubleClick(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Clipboard.SetText("test");
}

(NotifyWindow being a wrapper of NotifyIcon )

I want to give the user the possibility to double click on the NotifyWindow so that the event is fired. Sadly this doesn't work with the Thread.Sleep() method since the callback gets freezed for this time.

Any way to archieve this?

Answer 1

You need a message loop for the event handling to work. One way of achieving this is to create and "show" a hidden window, using ShowDialog or Application.Run() . If the action that should happen when you click the icon is showing a window, then it might be desirable to just create that window at the start already, but "show" it as hidden or minimized.
