You can use the BackgroundWorker in WPF - the control just wraps the BackgroundWorker class - all you need do is manually create the BackgroundWorker in your code. To be honest though, I normally use the SmartThreadPool[^] instead - it's a fantastic piece of code.

Just followed your link and looked at the article. If the code is half as good, it's very good.
Thanks for the link. Now I'm off to play.

No doubt it's a great piece of code and it served me well in many applications.
With all the new improvements made to the thread pool and the release of parallel extensions in the latest framework, I am wondering whether the use of smart thread pool gives you more advantage on a latest framework?
Best wishes,

The IWorkResult stuff in SmartThreadPool gives it a real advantage over the threadpool (even as it stands now). Parallel extensions however, that's a tough call - usage would have to be evaluated on a case by case basis.

I do all my serious implementations in asp.net but sometimes I need a simple utility which I code as a windows implementation.
It is usually a one off utility to gather information so all I need is to separate the UI (main thread) from a single worker thread so I don't lose control of the UI in case I need to terminate the process or update a process status indicator.
SmartThreadPool may be a bit of an over kill for my requirements but it does look interesting. I'll have to look into it when I get some time to really learn the intricacies of implementing it.
Thanks for the link.

You will have to try to ask a better question in English.
What would you like to know about image processing?

Congratulations on getting a hobby! Now, did you have an actual question?

What is your question please?

Dave's question was whether the OP had a.... oh nevermind

Why would I be asking a question??
I certainly wouldn't be asking you about it.
You can't even reply to the correct post.

I'm afraid you'll have to answer him in Thai if you expect him to understand subtle remarks.
You do know Thai well enough to write coherently don't you?

I want a textbox for a phone number. I want the text box to have this format
( ) - embedded inside it. When some one inputs the phone number the first three numbers (area code) should automatically fit in the bracket area and the next three before the hyphen and the last four after the hyphen (without the user having to type the bracket or the hyphen. I have no idea how to approach the problem.
Pl help

Search your online help for "maskedit". There will be a ready-made one for phone numbers along with several other useful ones.

I found many which would format the phone number after it has been entered, but I could not find any where the bracket and the hyphen were already embedded in the textbox when it loads.
If you can direct me to one it would be great.

This one[^] is for dates in VB, but I am sure you can do the obvious translation. (I don't have C# or VS here, so I'm poking around in the dark a bit.) The main point is that the underlying MaskedEdit control takes care of displaying the extra bits as well as controlling what can be entered.

The masked textbox did the trick, the only problem was that it shows those ugly looking lines
(___)___-____
is there a way to get rid of the lines and it just displays
( ) -
but works the way the masked textbox worked. I tried providing my own mask as well, but the lines in the textbox will not go.

You can override the textbox class and make your own masked textbox.
I don't think you can remove the lines. (maybe in the onpaint event or something?)

The "lines" are underscore characters. In the corresponding Borland VCL control, you can change the character, but I don't know whether this happens in the Borland wrapper or the underlying MS control.

I know what "underscores" are, thank you
