Other Versions

Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

Syntax

C++

public static bool CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls { get; set; }

Copy

/** @property */
public static boolean get_CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls ()

/** @property */
public static void set_CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls (boolean value)

JScript

Copy

public static function get CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls () : boolean

public static function set CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls (value : boolean)

Property Value

true if calls on the wrong thread are caught; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When a thread other than the creating thread of a control tries to access one of that control's methods or properties, it often leads to unpredictable results. A common invalid thread activity is a call on the wrong thread that accesses the control's Handle property. Set CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls to true to find and diagnose this thread activity more easily.
