LoadExcelFile locks up GUI thread

Is there a way to have LoadExcelFile called from a BackgroundWorker? If the excel file that is being loaded is large, the screen locks and the user does not get any feedback on the progress.

Hi,

First, I have optimized performance of ImportExcelFile() method instead of LoadExcelFile(). LoadExcelFile() is obsolete.

And I used a thread function to load excel file.

public void threadfunc()
{
gridDesktop1.ImportExcelFile("c:\\test.xls");
MessageBox.Show("ok", "");
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
ThreadStart threadDelegate = new ThreadStart(this.threadfunc);
Thread thread = new Thread(threadDelegate);
thread.IsBackground = true;
thread.Start();
}

Please get the version 1.6.2.1 in attachment then try the code above.
