message boxes don't dissappear

[Guest]

Hello,
I have a message box that appears b4 a thread is started off, however
when Yes or No is answered to the message box the message box does not
dissappear, in fact it appears with a ghost like image in the foreground. is
there anyway of getting around this issue and getting rid of the pesky
message box in the first place. The msgbox is not kicked off in a form but in
a module if this makes any difference.

If MsgBox("would you liek to restore the db", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, Title) =
MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
Me.Refresh()
thrRestore = New Thread(AddressOf RestoreDb)
thrRestore.IsBackground = True
thrRestore.Start()

thrRestore.Join()

Do you show the messagebox in the app's main UI thread?

Hi Herfried,
Yeah the message box is in the main ui thread. However there is
another message box later on inside my own thread which does the same thing.

Robert/Geraldine,

Yesterday was almost the same question, it was solved with a
application.doevents direct after the Then

Maybe it goes with you as well
