Calling another function after another returns

Phil

Hi

Can anybody tell me how to get a function to call another function once it
has finished processing. That is, I have a function which I run, in its own
thread, which does some processing. As soon as it is done, I would like it
to call another member in the main form of the application.

Can anybody give me some ideas on how to do this? I seem to recall reading
something about a callback function (?) which may do the job? Is that right?

Some example code would be great!
