How do I refresh the taskbar?

[Raymond Gunawan]

Hi!

I have an VB.Net application that from time-to-time would get very
busy and go to the "Not Responding" mode. The problem is, after it
comes back, the task bar is still showing "Not Responding". The
application title is correct (does not show "not responding")

Is there a way to refresh the taskbar?

Thanks.

Hi,

Run the tasks that take a long to complete in a seperate thread
to prevent that. The procedure will run in the background while allowing
the app to update itself.

Are there other alternatives?
We have had weird errors in our UI (crashes in system.Drawing, etc.) that
was caused by multithreading.
