[RESOLVED] Referencing a Form on a Seperate Thread...?

[BSantiag]

I converted my code from VS2003 to VS2005 and came across a threading issue. In 2003, it worked without a problem, but now 2005 complains about Cross-Threading.

I created a "Progress Bar Form" which when displayed, runs the ShowDialog() method on a seperate thread in order to allow the calling thread to continue processing, yet maintain the ShowDialog() features. Problem is that calling ShowDialog() without a parent form parameter can cause the form to display in strange location on your screen. So I added the option to define the parent form to which the "Progress Form" would center against. Problem is, that when the "Progress Form" is displayed on a secondary thread, it is passed a reference to the parent for it to center on, which is now on a different thread (the main thread), and VS2005 crashes complaining about Cross-Threading.

Now, I am relatively new to Multi-Threading, and I have gotten some migrains debugging Threading problems before . I was hoping that someone here would be able to give me some idea's or pointers on how I can fix this particular Cross-Threading issue...?
