Backgroundworker to populate a TreeView

All,

I have a treeview on my form that has a lot of nodes on it. I would
like to populate this treeview on another thread so my form will still
paint while it is being populated.

I have looked at the Backgroundworker object (and dragged one onto my
form) and several other newsgroup threads. What I don't understand is
that I can't access the treeview control in the sub that is handling
the DoWork event (I get the error that I can't access a control that
was created on a different thread.). How do I add my nodes to the
control if it is on a different thread. I'm probably missing something
obvious here!

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

if you are on .NET 2.0 why not just use a virtual list view? it would let
you have virtualy unlimited number of nodes show up instantly
