Create new form from alternate thread

Hi, I am trying to write a program that can spawn forms when running in
an alternate thread outside the main one. It however doesnt like to do
anything related to the first thread when in the second one. How can i
create a secondary form from an alternate thread? Thanks.

I am courious why you would want to create the forms on separate threads.
Instead of running forms in separate threads I suggest to put the operations
the forms are performing into separate threads and keep all of the forms
running in the application's main thread.

If you want the alternate thread initiating the display of other forms
then you need to use Control.Invoke to marshal a method onto the main
UI thread where you can safely display other forms.

I have a Class Library that contains a Form and several helper classes. A thread gets created that performs processing of data behind the scenes and the Form never gets displayed (it is for debug puposes only and is not normally visable to the user.) The Thread function is actually in the Form class. Now.. What I am seeing is that when I create an instance of this Class Library's Form, which starts the worker thread, it seems to hose up...

I have a windows app whose main dialog contains a button that launches a form. I've tried using Form.Show() to have it launch as a modeless form, but it behaves as if it's modal (i.e. parent form can't receive focus)... Can someone tell me what I need to do to make the child form modeless..??? I want to be able to alternate focus between both dialogs... thanks,

Hi all I stumbled over a new problem: I have a programm with just a class that is asynchronous listening for network connections. As soon as someone connected, a new form needs to be created.

The Message Loop is created on Application.Run() on the Main Method on the Main Thread. The Callback is (normally)...

I'm assuming this is by-design, but it doesn't appear to be documented: >>> '%8.f' % (-1) ' -1' >>> '%#8.f' % (-1) ' -1.' The docs list the alternate forms, but there isn't one listed for f/F. Itwould seem the alternate form for floating points is truncate & round the floating point value, but always display the . at the end. Is that correct?
