Forms and Threading

[Frank Uray]

Hi all

I have a question about threading with forms.

On my form I have a Progressbar and a Timer
for updating it. On the timer update I call Invoke
and this works fine. When it runs, the form is free.

When I now execute something on the form,
for this time my progreebar is stopping.

Is there any way to keep my progressbar alive ?
Or do I realy have to do any long execution on the
form in another thread ?

Thanks for any comments

Yes, you have to do any long-running processing in another thread,
e.g. with BackgroundWorker. Otherwise the UI thread cannot respond to
UI events.
