Multithreading Interface Problem

[Guest]

Hi,
I'm writing a multithreaded application that uses 2 threads: 1 for the form
and another to process some data. Before the processing thread starts, I
modify the interface to reflect its busy state. However, when I finish the
processing I can't undo the changes because 'Controls created on one thread
can't be parented on a different thread.' Does anyone know how I'd call my
finishing method on the UI thread, or get around this problem. Help would be
apreciated.
Reuben.

P.S. I use .NET Framework version 1.1

Hello,
Try to use Invoke method of class Control. Please see MSDN for
details.

I'd recommend BeginInvoke over Invoke for this as it reduces the chance of deadlock
