You can't do that. The only thing you can do is create all your forms on
the UI thread and later update them as needed from other threads - but
you have to be very careful if you do this, because direct calls to the
controls that were created on the UI thread are not allowed.

There's a blog article by Justin Rogers that I like to recommend, it
explains a lot of the background of this topic:

Hope this helps!

You can do so by creating additional message loop in the new thread by
calling
"Application.Run(formObj)".


Firstly, create a new thread,

....
new Thread(new ThreadStart(NewMessageLoopFun));
....

Secondly, in the new thread, create a Form and call "Application.Run"

void NewMessageLoopFun()
{
....
FormX f=new FormX(..);
Application.Run(f)
....
}
