I have a MediaElement built into a GUI using visual studios, but in the backend code I need to access the Position property in the video it loads in order to use the time in some calculations. I’m getting an error saying I can’t access it because another thread owns it.

I’ve tried using the GetProperty() GetValue() methods, and I’ve also approached it with an invoker but can’t find a method in MediaElement to get the position.

Is there an easy way to access properties of an object in another thread?

    you didn’t post the error but I’m guessing it’s telling you that you can’t just access objects on the UI thread from other/non-UI threads, in WPF you typically need the Dispatcher to invoke into another thread. more info and samples here.
