UI hangs while updating 1000 labels

[prasad599]

Hi,

I have a windows form where i try to update a form which has 1000 labels. By update i mean i try to set the color of the labels. And i am doing this update in windows form timer every 1 sec.
My problem is the UI freezes. I tried using a thread. In the thread i tried to call the update code, but still the UI hangs.

We need to see some code to really help you.
Generally, however, this is the result of a loop that is just too tight. Inside your loop try either calling Threading.Threa d.sleep for a few milliseconds, or call Application.DoE vents.
The latter will open your UI to other interaction you may not want however - unless you disable anything that can cause your program to run amok...
