MultiColumnComboBox datasource update from a thread

[David Cui]

hi, let me describe one occasion:

0. make a DataTable as form-wise field
1. drop MulitColumComboBox to the form
2. set data source (DataTable) to the mcCombo
3. drop one button into the same form
4. implement button click event to use a seperate thread to update DataTable

after clicking the button, you can see, lots of Invalidate operation exception happens (says, crosss-thread update is not good, blah , blah ...)
My understanding, for those unknown event (DataTable triggered) should be ignored by the MCCombo, right ?
Any easier solution ? (i know, i can do so thread mashelling. i am looking for mcCombo solution or else more easier. b/c this case should not be handled by developer, my personalthought)

Hi David,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion product.

I am able to see this issue, when the data table bound to MultiColumnComboBox and update the table with thread. Please avoid the AcceptChanges() method in thread to avoid this issue.

Please refer the sample in below link:
http://files.syncfusion.com/support/samples/Grid.Windows/Forums/F80623/main.htm

Let me know if you still face the issue. And it would be helpful if you send a minimal sample to reproduce the issue.

Lingaraj ,

The sample works fine. But my situation is, i update (in thread) the datatable with .Merge(DT2) . Even i never call AcceptChanges, seems merge somehow called some underlying event triggers. Can you try it ? (with update thread with Merge method of datatable). any workaround for this situatioN ?

best,

David
