SplahPanel in a background thread

[Jose Egea]

Hello:
I''m having problems launching an splahpanel from a background thread that is checking for messages.
My main form have an splahpanel and starts a background thread when it''s loaded. In this thread I launch a RunLoop method of another class. In this class I have a reference to the main form to call the ShowSplah method when I have received messages.
But when I have messages and call to the ShowPanel it doesn''t appear.
What''s wrong? How can I do that?

Best regards.

Hi Jose,

The problem lies with calling the ShowSplash method from a thread other than the main thread. This is a known issue Defect #599 that has been solved internally .
As a workaround, declare the delegate and call ShowSplash() anywhere in your code. The following code snippet illustrates this.

private delegate void ShowSplashDelegate();
private void ShowSplash()
{

if (this.InvokeRequired)
{
this.Invoke(new ShowSplashDelegate(ShowSplash));
return;
}

SplashPanel1.ShowSplash();
}

Hope this helps you and please create a Direct Trac incident if you would like to receive a private build that contains the fix, for testing purpose.

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.
