Control Properties


.NET Framework Class Library
Control..::.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to catch calls on the wrong thread that access a control's Handle property when an application is being debugged.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<BrowsableAttribute(False)> _
Public Shared Property CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim value As Boolean

value = Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls

Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = value
C#
[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
public static bool CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls { get; set; }
Visual C++
[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
public:
static property bool CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}
JScript
public static function get CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls () : boolean
public static function set CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
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 while debugging. Note that illegal cross-thread calls will always raise an exception when an application is started outside the debugger.
