Why is that? I have an Outlook style bar (ComponentOne) and whenever I click on a button on my form (whether or not it's in the toolbar is irrelevant) that starts a new thread with a call to a private sub in my form, the toolbar is invalidated and won't refresh after the thread has completed. While I can add code to refresh it after the thread completes, I can't figure out how to refresh it BEFORE the thread completes (that's my goal), and any attempt to do this is ignored.

Again, the control will only refresh after the thread has completed and only if I tell it to do so.

I have tried inserting code immediately after the thread is started to refresh just the control or the whole form, and I'm still not having much luck. Does anyone out there have any idea why?

Thanks in advance,

KT
