Note: This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.
Gets or sets a value indicating whether to catch calls on the wrong thread that access a control's
Handle property.
Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Property CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls As Boolean
Dim value As Boolean
value = Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls
Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = value
public static bool CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls { get; set; }
public:
static property bool CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls {
bool get ();
void set (bool value);
}
/** @property */
public static boolean get_CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls ()
/** @property */
public static void set_CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls (boolean value)
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.
