GridControl BeginUpdate + Application.DoEvents

[ian bradley]

If Application.DoEvents is called when a grid has had BeginUpdate called the app freezes. 

I found a similar thread which seemed to describe what I'm seeing, but was from 2002 :/

This is 9.4.2 Winforms GridControl.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Query: App freezes when the grid has BeginUpdate.

I am afraid we could not able to clearly get your question, so I had provided answer for what I had understood. App freezes when using BeginUpdate. Please refer to the following UG link to better understand of BeginUpdate. It would be great if we get a sample file or method which seems to cause the reported problem had been found (These details will help us provide you better solution since we could not able to clearly identify your query).

Please let me know if you have any other concerns.

Regards,

I'll try and provide a reproduceable case. It's complicated as the grid is virtualised and there are a lot of other things going on.

This thread here describes the problem pretty well (from 2002!!)

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the update.

Query: App freezes when the grid has beginupdate.

We will wait until we get a reproducible sample file from you side. Notes: Please refer to the following complete forum discussion of what you had mentioned about for full details. Suggestion: A simple way to work around this problem is to call grid.CancelUpdate before your call to DoEvents. And if you want, you could call grid.BeginUpdate afterwards.
