How to restart "Stopped" thread?

[Herfried K. Wagner [MVP]]

Form1.DoSleepCount = 1
Thread.CurrentThread.sleep(x)
Form1.DoSleepCount = 0

Where
Form1.Label2.Text = ""

is inside of DoSleepCount. Is that thread safe?

What's 'DoSleepCount'? According to a sample you posted previously it's a
variable. So, how would you set the label's text "inside" 'DoSleepCount'?

I suppose its more that I don't understand the concept of
Label2.invoke/begininvoke. Can you show some sample code?

A sample that uses this technique can be found here:

Sorry, I meant the sub() named SleepCount():

Public Sub SleepCount()
count += 1
Form1.Label2.Text = count.ToString
Form1.Label2.Text = ""
End Sub

Sorry, my German isn't that great. I tried a Google translation but it
failed.

If you call 'SleepCount' from within the procedure that is executing in its
separate thread, it will be executed in this thread too. Consequently you
will have to use 'Control.Invoke'/'Control.BeginInvoke' in this situation
too.

Sorry, wrong link. I wanted to refer to the downloadable sample:
