Creating and displaying windows form in thread

[cube]

Hi

I've got a problem. I try to create new WindowsForm in thread and show them.
Everything is ok, but new form after Show() freeze

Maybe somebody tell me why and how to fix this error.

Hi,

you know, there some restrictions when using multithreading in a windows
forms application; i think only the thread which created a control may call
methods of this control; any other thread may only call the methods Invoke,
BeginInvoke, and EndInvoke which are marshalled to the control-owning
thread. You can test the a thread if these asycnronous calls are required by
testing the control property InvokeRequired.

I hope this helps,

Walter

You need to start a message pump on the thread...Windows pumps the first few
messages for you, which is what shows the window.

private void ThreadProc() {
Form f = new Form();
Application.Run(f);
}
