Folks,

In my application, when the user hits "Submit" button, I have to make a Web service call asynchronously. Here is what I do.

1. Disable a bunch of controls, update some text:

this._btnSubmit.IsEnabled = false; ... this._lblInfo.Text = "Connecting..."

2. Use Dispatcher.BeginInvoke for the actual Web service call.

this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(DoTheStuff, DispatcherPriority.ContextIdle);

The idea is to that the UI will get updated before the actual asynchronous call to the Web service is made.

The problem is that the UI is not updating immediately. It takes a few seconds before the controls disable and the text appears.

What is it that I need to do to ensure that the UI gets updated?

I probably could spawn a background thread but that would be an overkill given that the Web service call is already asynchronous.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter Taps,

Based on your description, I think you could try to below code snippet to achieve your goal(Force UI refresh).

private delegate void NoArgDelegate();

public static void Refresh(DependencyObject obj)

{

            obj.Dispatcher.Invoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.ApplicationIdle,

                (NoArgDelegate)delegate { });

}

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

             Refresh(testDtGrid);



}

I know this doesn‘t answer your question, but have you considered using a BusyIndicatorto disable interaction with the window, instead of manually enabling and disabling all the controls. Remember, this isn‘t WinForms. The Extended WPF Toolkit has a free one.
