how to edit controls in a system::thread
- by Ian Lundberg
I need to be able to add items to a listbox inside of a thread. Code is below.
1. ref class Work
2. {
3. public:
4. static void RecieveThread()
5. {
6. while (true)
7. {
8. ZeroMemory(cID, 64);
9. ZeroMemory(message, 256);
10. if(recv(sConnect, message, 256, NULL) != SOCKET_ERROR && recv(sConnect, cID, 64, NULL) != SOCKET_ERROR)
11. {
12. ID = atoi(cID);
13. String^ meep = gcnew String(message);
14. lbxMessages->Items->Add(meep);
15. check = 1;
16. }
17. }
18. }
19. };
I get the error Error: a nonstatic member reference must be relative to a specific object on line 14. Is there any way to get it to let me do that? Because if I try to use String^ meep; outside of that Thread it doesn't contain anything. It works PERFECT when I use it within the thread but not outside of it. I need to be able to add that message to the listbox. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
