I have a thread that connects to a service. All is well there. I am able to show MessageBox and forms from it.

The problem occurs when I try to plug in the desktopalert to show a message instead of using a form or MessageBox.  I get a black box down next to my task manager and if I click it I get an non response message fom windows.

How can I show an alert from a thread which isn't the main thread? I do not want to use backgroundworker and my component doesn't have Invoke() available.

Thank you.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for contacting us.

Our controls, including RadDesktopAlert, must be shown in the primary UI thread. You will be able to implement your scenario with standard MS controls, such as Forms and MessageBoxes, since they do not share static instances, such as themes.

I hope you find this information useful. Let me know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,
Boryana

Hello, Reza, 

I have prepared a sample project for your reference demonstrating how to show a RadDesktopAlert from another thread. The key part is using a MethodInvoker to protect your code from cross-thread operations and show the alerts in the UI thread rather than the background one.

Please give the attached application a try and see how it works on your end.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
