How to refresh a Binding from another thread ?
If you fix the following two functions in a )CLEAR WS:
Then if you execute the function 'test' you get a WPF window as expected with the TextBox text as: 'this is working'. After that if you execute the function 'refreshBind' you can change the value of the TextBox as expected. But if you try to refresh the namespace with 'refreshBind&' from another thread it is not working. Is there a way to make this work ?
Thanks in advance,
Pierre Gilbert

Re: How to refresh a Binding from another thread ?
Hello Pierre,
This looks like a bug, but there's an easy workaround. Just add another line after the assignment in the function - it doesn't even have to do anything:
The problem is that the binding notifications are kept in a thread-specific queue, and in your code the thread ends before the queue is processed. The extra line gives the interpreter a chance to process the queue before thread termination.
I'll look into a proper fix.
Best Regards,
John Daintree.
