[RESOLVED] Modify .TEXT property from Event Handler

[cjard]

// and for good measure
System.Threading.Thread[SIZE=2].Sleep(5000);

Try the thread.sleep like I showed you for 5 seconds and I bet you see them update.

No no no. Don't use the Sleep() like he showed you. Infact, don't use Sleep() at all, and certainly never ever on a UI thread. Sleeping the UI thread stops the message pump, causign the app to become "(Not Responding)" and is actually a great way of ensuring that your text boxes dont update properly.

That's some terrible advice Traps. You should read this:

Then edit the nonsense out of your post..


Lastly, OP, if youre doing some long running, intensive op, don't do it on the UI thread (in a button click event handler) - use a backgroundworker! Youre only going to hang your app if you tie the UI thread up for long periods of time
