need for control invoke
Hi,
I am well aware of the need to invoke gui stuff from threads other than the GUI thread but reading some other post tonight the thread seemed to suggest that this was not neccessary for MessageBox.Show. Is this the case? I have always done the invoking for MessageBoxes, maybe this was wrong of me. If so why? Cheers |

Re: need for control invoke
Technically you can show a messagebox from a non UI thread. However you
should be aware of what effect this will have on your application since your thread will block until the messagebox is dismissed.
