I have the following which generates MDI forms, but doesn't show them at
this stage:
For n As Integer = 1 To 10
fmViewer(n) = New frmViewer
fmViewer(n).Tag = n
fmViewer(n).Mdi Parent = Frm1
Next
From within a new thread I wish to show a form:
fmViewer(4).sho w
However, it doesn't show. The answer I am sure is because I am trying to
show it from within a thread. How can I achieve this?

What is frmViewer? Here you are using it as both the name of your
class and the name of the array variable. Can you show us the
declaration for frmViewer?

Jerry,
All Form access must be done from the main UI thread. That includes
creating, manipulating, and showing the Form. You'll need a reference
to an existing Form or Control that your worker thread will use to
marshal the execution of a delegate onto the UI thread by calling
Invoke or BeginInvoke. That delegate should contain the code to create
and show the new Form. Invoke and BeginInvoke are among the very few
members of a Form or Control that are actually thread-safe.

Hi Chris
fmViwer is the name of my form, fmViewer() is an array. I can see the
difference is rather small!

Thanks Brian. I'll have a look at Invoke and BeginInvoke.

I am using VB2005 Beta 2 in VS 2005 and am running into a small

I am using threads, since the program will appear to freeze while

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
