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?

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.
