My program hangs after a button is clicked

Levi Perry

I am having trouble when my button is clicked, lets say it is a button which executes a function. I want the function to run only once when the button is clicked. When I click the button in my program now it runs the function then hangs and stop responding, I cant move it, minimize, close, etc. How do I prevent this?

I have fixed the issue, I was running an infinite while loop by accident. Thank you all for your help

Use a BackgroundWorker Thread to execute function in a separate thread. If you want the function execute only once you can use a static flag.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(FunctionName));
thread.Start();
}
private void FunctionName()
{
//your code
MessageBox.Show("Called by a thread");
}

Use Thread for calling function.
