Problem in opening form through Threads

All GUI objects are to be run in the same GUI thread.
Running them in other threads prevents them from getting the windows messages correctly.
I think there is a way around this, but generally, there never be a need to run GUI objects in seperate threads.

hi,

thanks for reply..

Now i have solved my problem. I have use the following code:

Private Sub cmdShow_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdShow.Click
Dim thForm As Threading.Thread
Dim i As Int32

For i = 0 To 20
thForm = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf ShowForm)
thForm.Start()
Next
End Sub

Private Sub ShowForm()
Dim F2 As Form2
If Me.InvokeRequired Then
Me.Invoke(New MethodInvoker(AddressOf ShowForm))
Else
F2 = New Form2
F2.Show(Me)
End If
End Sub

The above code is working well.

Why do you need your gui object to run in a different thread?

Hi,

In my application these forms are like alerts and i dont know how many alerts occur in a minute. Also alerts get its records for database. So i do not want to get busy my main thread to launch these alerts...

Is there any other solution to avoid using threads?
Also Please lat me know future problem in using thread in such operations.

I suggest that you look into using BackgroundWorkers. They let you execute operations on separate threads in a thread-safe way.
