Why DispatcherTimer does not click?

Hi Pierre

Yes, Of course there are several ways to acheive a single task in programming. You can use pushframe method but it better performs when you program is multi threaded.

 

In your program, it just freezes/blocks the current UI, so it is more than enough to use that.

 

Moreover, Application.Doevents () function is not depreciated for the time being. Microsoft will notify about any such depreciation in its tooltips prior to remove that function. As in the given link of stackoverflow, it has been mentioned that after .net 4.0 it has been depreciated but it doesn't.

 

I'll like to inform that type a snippet.

Thread.Suspend ();

Just hover your mouse in the above method and look at the tooltip that it has been depreciated. Hence Microsoft will let you notify before any such depreciation.

Hi Amit,

Thankyou for your comment.

Although II do not have, at the moment, a need for that function I had a look at it on the Web.

It seems that, as far as WPF applications are concerned, the use of the System.Windows.DoEvents method is somewhat deprecated.

(stackoverflow.com/questions/4502037/where is the Application.DoEvents in WPF)

Instead, Microsft is showing an other way to use it with the System.Windows.Threading.dispatcher.pushframe method.

Being an "amateur" who practices software development on his own as a retirement hobby, my level of expertise is not high enough to have an opinion on the pro's and con's of each approach.

May be after having tried them, some time...

Have a nice day.

Pierre

Thank you for your help.

The reference you gave me on theMSDN social network, although a little bit different of what I want to do, has shown how I should stucture my code.

Have a nice week end

Pierre
