Remarks

We use the current application's dispatcher for convenient identification of the main thread. Note that this means that the application object must be initialized by the window manager.

However, DispatcherOperation objects are not used, because they are not compatible with RPC. For example, if the UI thread is in the middle of an RPC call, and code must run on the UI thread, then DispatcherOperation objects will not get through. This is because DispatcherOperation objects are initiated by posting a message to the UI thread, and the UI thread must dispatch that message. If the UI thread is making an RPC call, these messages will not be removed from the queue. The standard OLE message filter processes only a limited set of messages from the queue.

By going through a private service, the operation becomes a COM call on the UI thread. This operation is allowed through the Visual Studio message filter if it is part of the same logical call, since the message filter will see it as a nested call and may not reject it.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
