GroupingGrid Threading

[David Llewellyn]

Hello,

I just have a quick question about threading and the grouping grid.

I have created a groupinggrid control and a datatable, as the grouping grid datasource, in the main thread of the form.

I then launch another thread that adds / removes datarows from the datatable (the grouping grids datasource). I realise that if I need to reference the grouping grid in this thread I will need to use the "InvokeRequired" property and call a delegate. But what I need to know is
do I need to check the grouping grids "InvokeRequired" property in order to add or remove any data from the grids datasource (the datatable)?

Thanks,
David.

No, generally you would not need to do this. The groupinggrid has subscribed to certain events on the DataTable that will react to you adding/removing rows to the DataTable outside the grid. But the event handlers within the grid code that handle these actions are protected by InvokeRequired checks that should catch any calls on the wrong thread and direct them to the proper thread.
