multihilos - hilos en c# windows forms

C#¿Eventos entre hilos ejecutados en su propio hilo(Cómo)?

Question

Me gustaría tener dos hilos. Llamémoslos:

• Hilo A
• Hilo B

El hilo A dispara un evento y el hilo B escucha este evento. Cuando se ejecuta el escucha de eventos del subproceso B, se ejecuta con el ID de subproceso del subproceso A, así que supongo que se ejecuta dentro del subproceso A.

Lo que me gustaría hacer es poder disparar el evento al subproceso B diciendo algo como: "hey, hay un dato listo para ti, puedes manejarlo ahora". Este evento debe ejecutarse en su propio subproceso porque utiliza cosas a las que solo él puede acceder (como los controles de UI).

Cómo puedo hacer eso ?

Gracias por tu ayuda.

Answer 1

La forma más fácil es, probablemente, suscribirse con un controlador de eventos que simplemente marque la llamada del controlador "real" en el subproceso B. Por ejemplo, el controlador podría llamar a Control.BeginInvoke para realizar un trabajo en el subproceso B:

MethodInvoker realAction = UpdateTextBox;
foo.SomeEvent += (sender, args) => textBox.BeginInvoke(realAction);
...
private void UpdateTextBox()
{
// Do your real work here
}

Answer 2

Si está utilizando Windows Forms o WPF, y no tiene una referencia de Control a la mano de sus controladores de eventos, también puede capturar la referencia de System.Threading.SynchronizationContext.Current en algo que se ejecuta en el subproceso de la interfaz de usuario y exponer esa referencia a sus gestores de eventos.

Luego, cuando necesite ejecutar algo en el subproceso de la interfaz de usuario, invoque Post() o Send() en la referencia de SynchronizationContext capturada desde su controlador de eventos, dependiendo de si desea que se ejecute de forma asíncrona o síncrona.

Básicamente, solo se trata de capturar una referencia de Control y llamar a Invoke() , pero puede simplificar el código.

Answer 3

Solo he estado usando C # durante unas pocas semanas, pero me encontré con la misma pregunta de cómo disparar eventos a través de hilos. No hay muchos ejemplos completos disponibles (¿alguno?) Y fue difícil entender todas las piezas individuales de varios expertos. Después de un tiempo, finalmente desarrollé algo que funciona, así que quería compartir un ejemplo completo en este hilo para los recién llegados como yo. También doy la bienvenida a cualquier consejo experto o crítica, ya que soy bastante nuevo en C # y seguramente esto puede mejorarse.

Este es un ejemplo completo menos un formulario pequeño con 3 botones y una barra de seguimiento vertical, todos con nombres predeterminados. Cree el formulario en Designer y sobrescríbalo con la clase TestEvent que tengo, luego conecte los 3 botones de eventos OnClick. La barra de seguimiento se puede utilizar para seleccionar el hilo al que desea que se dispare un evento a través de los botones, y se escalará automáticamente cuando cambie numThreads en void Main (). Button2 enviará un evento para cerrar el hilo.

La clase MyEvent se puede usar junto con cualquier clase que implemente la interfaz IMyEventActions. La clase que utiliza MyEvent recibirá automáticamente eventos activados en OnSomethingHappened (...). Además, la clase que crea una instancia de MyEvent puede suscribirse a otros eventos de clases de forma recursiva. Los eventos de disparo se logran fácilmente a través del método MyEvent.Fire (...).

// Create a designer form with 3 buttons and a vertical trackbar and overwrite
//it with "TestEvent" class near bottom of code, then hook up the buttons to
//button<1/2/3>_OnClick. Event Sibling Subscribing section explains why the
//first 4 event threads all fire at once.

Answer 4

Tendrá que reunir la información de nuevo en el hilo de la interfaz de usuario.

Normalmente, manejaría esto en su controlador de eventos. Por ejemplo, digamos que el subproceso A era su subproceso de la interfaz de usuario: cuando se suscribió a un evento en un objeto en el subproceso B, el controlador del evento se ejecutará dentro del subproceso B. Sin embargo, puede agregarlo nuevamente al subproceso de la interfaz de usuario:

// In Thread A (UI) class...
private void myThreadBObject_EventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.button1.BeginInvoke( new Action(
() =>
{
// Put your "work" here, and it will happen on the UI thread...
}));
}
