//button is clicked
//worker starts
private void processWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
string code = DoLongWorkAndReturnCode();
if (code != 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error!");
EnableAllButtons(); // this is defined in the other thread and it's where i run into the error.
}
else
{
string code = DoAnotherLongProcessAndReturnCode();
if (code != 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error 2!");
EnableAllButtons(); // again, this is defined in the other thread
}
}
}
I'm running into a cross threading error because "EnableAllButtons()" is defined in a different thread.
How do I go about enabling all buttons in one thread, from a different thread?
