从另一个线程更新标签的最简单方法是什么?

我在thread1上运行了一个Form,然后我开始另一个线程(thread2)。当thread2处理一些文件时,我想用thread2工作的当前状态更新表单上的标签。

我怎么能这样做?

对于.NET 2.0,下面是我编写的一段代码,它完全符合您的需要,适用于控件上的任何属性:

private delegate void SetControlPropertyThreadSafeDelegate(
    Control control, 
    string propertyName, 
    object propertyValue);

public static void SetControlPropertyThreadSafe(
    Control control, 
    string propertyName, 
    object propertyValue)
{
  if (control.InvokeRequired)
  {
    control.Invoke(new SetControlPropertyThreadSafeDelegate               
    (SetControlPropertyThreadSafe), 
    new object[] { control, propertyName, propertyValue });
  }
  else
  {
    control.GetType().InvokeMember(
        propertyName, 
        BindingFlags.SetProperty, 
        null, 
        control, 
        new object[] { propertyValue });
  }
}

这样称呼:

// thread-safe equivalent of
// myLabel.Text = status;
SetControlPropertyThreadSafe(myLabel, "Text", status);

如果您使用的是.NET 3.0或更高版本,可以将上述方法重写为Control类的扩展方法,这样可以简化对以下内容的调用:

myLabel.SetPropertyThreadSafe("Text", status);

2010年10月5日更新:

对于.NET 3.0,应使用以下代码:

private delegate void SetPropertyThreadSafeDelegate<TResult>(
    Control @this, 
    Expression<Func<TResult>> property, 
    TResult value);

public static void SetPropertyThreadSafe<TResult>(
    this Control @this, 
    Expression<Func<TResult>> property, 
    TResult value)
{
  var propertyInfo = (property.Body as MemberExpression).Member 
      as PropertyInfo;

  if (propertyInfo == null ||
      !@this.GetType().IsSubclassOf(propertyInfo.ReflectedType) ||
      @this.GetType().GetProperty(
          propertyInfo.Name, 
          propertyInfo.PropertyType) == null)
  {
    throw new ArgumentException("The lambda expression 'property' must reference a valid property on this Control.");
  }

  if (@this.InvokeRequired)
  {
      @this.Invoke(new SetPropertyThreadSafeDelegate<TResult> 
      (SetPropertyThreadSafe), 
      new object[] { @this, property, value });
  }
  else
  {
      @this.GetType().InvokeMember(
          propertyInfo.Name, 
          BindingFlags.SetProperty, 
          null, 
          @this, 
          new object[] { value });
  }
}

它使用LINQ和lambda表达式来允许更干净、更简单和更安全的语法:

// status has to be of type string or this will fail to compile
myLabel.SetPropertyThreadSafe(() => myLabel.Text, status);

现在不仅在编译时检查了属性名称,而且属性的类型也是如此,因此不可能(例如)将字符串值分配给布尔属性,从而导致运行时异常。

不幸的是,这并不能阻止任何人做一些愚蠢的事情,例如传递另一个控件的属性和值,因此以下内容将很好地编译:

myLabel.SetPropertyThreadSafe(() => aForm.ShowIcon, false);

因此,我添加了运行时检查,以确保传入的属性实际上属于调用该方法的控件。虽然不完美,但仍比.NET2.0版本好得多。

如果有人对如何改进此代码以确保编译时安全有任何进一步的建议,请发表评论!

其他回答

致敬!在搜索了这个问题之后,我发现FrankG和Oregon Ghost的答案对我来说是最简单、最有用的;所以我不太确定结果如何。

我有一个名为form_Diagnostics的对话框,它有一个称为updateDiagWindow的富文本框,我正在使用它作为一种日志显示。我需要能够从所有线程更新它的文本。额外的行允许窗口自动滚动到最新的行。

因此,我现在可以从整个程序的任何地方,以您认为无需任何线程的方式,用一行代码更新显示:

  form_Diagnostics.updateDiagWindow(whatmessage);

主代码(将其放入表单的类代码中):

#region "---------Update Diag Window Text------------------------------------"
// This sub allows the diag window to be updated by all threads
public void updateDiagWindow(string whatmessage)
{
    var _with1 = diagwindow;
    if (_with1.InvokeRequired) {
        _with1.Invoke(new UpdateDiagDelegate(UpdateDiag), whatmessage);
    } else {
        UpdateDiag(whatmessage);
    }
}
// This next line makes the private UpdateDiagWindow available to all threads
private delegate void UpdateDiagDelegate(string whatmessage);
private void UpdateDiag(string whatmessage)
{
    var _with2 = diagwindow;
    _with2.appendtext(whatmessage);
    _with2.SelectionStart = _with2.Text.Length;
    _with2.ScrollToCaret();
}
#endregion

当您在UI线程中时,可以向它请求其同步上下文任务调度器。它将为您提供一个TaskScheduler,用于调度UI线程上的所有内容。

然后,您可以将任务链接起来,这样当结果准备就绪时,另一个任务(在UI线程上安排)会选择它并将其分配给标签。

public partial class MyForm : Form
{
  private readonly TaskScheduler _uiTaskScheduler;
  public MyForm()
  {
    InitializeComponent();
    _uiTaskScheduler = TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext();
  }

  private void buttonRunAsyncOperation_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    RunAsyncOperation();
  }

  private void RunAsyncOperation()
  {
    var task = new Task<string>(LengthyComputation);
    task.ContinueWith(antecedent =>
                         UpdateResultLabel(antecedent.Result), _uiTaskScheduler);
    task.Start();
  }

  private string LengthyComputation()
  {
    Thread.Sleep(3000);
    return "47";
  }

  private void UpdateResultLabel(string text)
  {
    labelResult.Text = text;
  }
}

这适用于任务(而不是线程),这是目前编写并发代码的首选方式。

关于这个主题的另一个示例:我创建了一个抽象类UiSynchronizeModel,它包含一个公共方法实现:

public abstract class UiSynchronizeModel
{
    private readonly TaskScheduler uiSyncContext;
    private readonly SynchronizationContext winformsOrDefaultContext;

    protected UiSynchronizeModel()
    {
        this.winformsOrDefaultContext = SynchronizationContext.Current ?? new SynchronizationContext();
        this.uiSyncContext = TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext();
    }

    protected void RunOnGuiThread(Action action)
    {
        this.winformsOrDefaultContext.Post(o => action(), null);
    }

    protected void CompleteTask(Task task, TaskContinuationOptions options, Action<Task> action)
    {
        task.ContinueWith(delegate
        {
            action(task);
            task.Dispose();
        }, CancellationToken.None, options, this.uiSyncContext);
    }
}

模型或控制器类应从此抽象类派生。您可以使用任何模式(任务或手动管理的后台线程)并使用以下方法:

public void MethodThatCalledFromBackroundThread()
{
   this.RunOnGuiThread(() => {
       // Do something over UI controls
   });
}

任务示例:

var task = Task.Factory.StartNew(delegate
{
    // Background code
    this.RunOnGuiThread(() => {
        // Do something over UI controls
    });
});

this.CompleteTask(task, TaskContinuationOptions.OnlyOnRanToCompletion, delegate
{
    // Code that can safely use UI controls
});

也许有点过量,但这是我通常解决问题的方式:

由于同步,此处不需要调用。BasicClassThreadExample对我来说只是一种布局,因此请根据您的实际需要进行更改。

这很简单,因为您不需要处理UI线程中的内容!

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    BasicClassThreadExample _example;

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        _example = new BasicClassThreadExample();
        _example.MessageReceivedEvent += _example_MessageReceivedEvent;
    }

    void _example_MessageReceivedEvent(string command)
    {
        listBox1.Items.Add(command);
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        listBox1.Items.Clear();
        _example.Start();
    }
}

public class BasicClassThreadExample : IDisposable
{
    public delegate void MessageReceivedHandler(string msg);

    public event MessageReceivedHandler MessageReceivedEvent;

    protected virtual void OnMessageReceivedEvent(string msg)
    {
        MessageReceivedHandler handler = MessageReceivedEvent;
        if (handler != null)
        {
            handler(msg);
        }
    }

    private System.Threading.SynchronizationContext _SynchronizationContext;
    private System.Threading.Thread _doWorkThread;
    private bool disposed = false;

    public BasicClassThreadExample()
    {
        _SynchronizationContext = System.ComponentModel.AsyncOperationManager.SynchronizationContext;
    }

    public void Start()
    {
        _doWorkThread = _doWorkThread ?? new System.Threading.Thread(dowork);

        if (!(_doWorkThread.IsAlive))
        {
            _doWorkThread = new System.Threading.Thread(dowork);
            _doWorkThread.IsBackground = true;
            _doWorkThread.Start();
        }
    }

    public void dowork()
    {
        string[] retval = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Windows\System32", "*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);
        foreach (var item in retval)
        {
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(25);
            _SynchronizationContext.Post(new System.Threading.SendOrPostCallback(delegate(object obj)
            {
                OnMessageReceivedEvent(item);
            }), null);
        }
    }

    protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (!disposed)
        {
            if (disposing)
            {
                _doWorkThread.Abort();
            }
            disposed = true;
        }
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        Dispose(true);
        GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
    }

    ~BasicClassThreadExample() { Dispose(false); }

}

这是一个古老问题的新视角,使用了更实用的风格。如果您在所有项目中都保留TaskXM类,那么只有一行代码不再担心跨线程更新。

public class Example
{
    /// <summary>
    /// No more delegates, background workers, etc. Just one line of code as shown below.
    /// Note it is dependent on the Task Extension method shown next.
    /// </summary>
    public async void Method1()
    {
        // Still on the GUI thread here if the method was called from the GUI thread
        // This code below calls the extension method which spins up a new task and calls back.
        await TaskXM.RunCodeAsync(() =>
        {
            // Running an asynchronous task here
            // Cannot update the GUI thread here, but can do lots of work
        });
        // Can update GUI on this line
    }
}


/// <summary>
/// A class containing extension methods for the Task class
/// </summary>
public static class TaskXM
{
    /// <summary>
    /// RunCodeAsyc is an extension method that encapsulates the Task.run using a callback
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="Code">The caller is called back on the new Task (on a different thread)</param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public async static Task RunCodeAsync(Action Code)
    {
        await Task.Run(() =>
        {
            Code();
        });
        return;
    }
}
