POStatus Label not updating on background worker progress update
text
Body
copied!<p>I have seen similar questions previously, but none seem to fit my situation. I have a windows form, the form has a background worker, the worker supports updating. I have a status strip label.</p> <p>The background worker is started by a button click, when the button is clicked the background worker starts fine. Every iteration I do a progress update, sending a string as the user state. If I use that string to update the title of the form, the title changes as the process is run, and works as expected... however, if I attempt to use that string to update the value of a status strip label, the label does not get updated.</p> <p>I am doing the work on a separate thread then the UI thread, and I am not blocking the UI thread in anyway, this is evident by watching the title update as expected. However the status strip label is not updating.</p> <p>Apparently, status strip labels are not a subclass of System.Windows.Controls, however I have tried to invalidate the status strip label, and I have attempted to invalidate and refresh the status strip where the status strip label is located, however I can not get the status strip label to change text while the background working is working.</p> <p>Here is the code for the Progress Changed event</p> <pre><code> void workerThread_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e) { //_statusCurrentActivityLBL.Text = e.UserState.ToString(); String s = e.UserState.ToString(); Text = s; _statusCurrentActivityLBL.Text = s; _statusCurrentActivityLBL.Invalidate(); statusStrip1.Invalidate(); statusStrip1.Refresh(); } </code></pre> <p>as i said, the Windows forms Text changes correctly, but the status label does not. </p> <p>UPDATE @Richard Schneider The Class name of the Label is ToolStripStatusLabel It does not seem to have a Refresh() member.</p> <p>UPDATE 2 @Chibueze Opata The code runs with no errors. The title text will change, if I update the text on a simple label control the label updates (That is my current work around). The problem is that the ToolStripStatusLabel, on a status strip does not get updated. </p>
