New form on Main thread.
in [Visual Basic]
|
From: tc on 17 Jul 2010 08:17 Hi all. I have an application that requires input from a 3rd party application. The 3rd party software sends data to any control on the running application on the main thread. I can start my application through a startup module which forces the main form on the main thread, how do I then open a second form and put it on the main thread? I've tried Dim'ing a thread then thread.start, but I get invoke errors which I have to say I don't not understand! Basically the second form I'm running contains a text box which must be on the main thread to handle the incoming data. Any help very much appreciated. Cheers.

He may very well not know what "Fred" is. Best to refer to it as VB.NET. -- Mike
