如何:通过在每个 Windows 窗体各自的线程上显示该 Windows 窗体来支持 COM 互操作

可通过在 .NET Framework 消息循环上显示窗体来解决 COM 互操作性问题,可使用 Application.Run 方法来创建该消息循环。

若要使 Windows 窗体在 COM 客户端应用程序上正确工作,必须在 Windows 窗体消息循环上运行该窗体。 若要执行此操作,请使用以下方法之一:

Visual Studio 中对此功能提供广泛支持。

示例

下面的代码示例演示如何在单独的线程上显示窗体,并调用 Application.Run 方法来启动该线程上的 Windows 窗体消息泵。 若要使用此方法,必须使用 Invoke 方法,封送任何从非托管应用程序对窗体的调用。

此方法要求窗体上的每个实例通过使用其自身的消息循环在自己的线程上运行。 每个线程上运行的消息循环不能超过一个。 因此,不能更改客户端应用程序的消息循环。 但是,可修改 .NET Framework 组件以启动使用其自身的消息循环的新线程。

编译代码

COMFormForm1FormManager 类型编译成名为 COMWinform.dll的程序集。 使用 Packaging an Assembly for COM中所述的一个方法来注册 COM 互操作的程序集。 现在,你可以在非托管应用程序中使用该程序集以及它对应的的类型库 (.tlb) 文件。 例如,可在 Visual Basic 6.0 可执行项目中将类型库用作引用。
