I have a wingrid that is bound to a datatable. I create a new asynchronous thread and from that thread make a remote server call passing the datatable. When the server call is completed the wingrid automatically refreshes to show any changes. However, since this is not being done on the main UI thread of the program, we will often get an error where the control goes whilte and a big red X appears in it.

Is there a flag to set the wingrid to not automatically upate when the datasource changes? I would like to turn it off before the remote server call and turn it on again after I am back on the main thread.

As far as I know our UltraGrid does not have such kind of property. If you are using multiple threads in your application, I think that you could use different approches to manage your threads, for example Mutex (more details you could find in MSDN) - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.mutex.aspx
