There is a way to change wpf components without freezing the gui with ironpython 2.7?

So, I'm trying to make some function run without freezing the GUI. There is some way to change the text from a textblock in another thread? For example:

and my wpf:

I can't in any way that I try to change the text block in another thread. There is no way to make, for example, a infinite while loop to update data, without freezing the GUI?

Hi Felipe

I haven't tested your code as I would need your files for that (suggestion 3).
I would look at the first three answers proposed in this StackOverflow thread.

Please be aware, though: having it modeless (does not necessary need a new thread) will mean that the solution will finish computing. At that time, nothing in the definition will update with the values of your "textblock" (Control I suppose) when the user changes it. You will have to write code for that. I would actually still use WinForms if I had to just make something useful.

I hope this helps,

Giulio

Sorry for the images, but I just put images because of the indentation. Here the files if you want to test. Thanks for the answer! I will have a look in the link and try a solution.
