For this program im using http method post to recieve messages from the server, when its waiting for a new message to be sent it locks the program up. No biggie, ill just thread the sub... Bad idea... I also have functions "send", "Connect", "disconnect". All on threads... i looked at task manager it started getting up to 100+ threads. I dont know much about threads but that just seems way to much. they will die off and the count will return to 20 but id like to find a different way of keeping the program from locking up but not having 100+ threads..

Little off topic:

i used a user control. The only problem now is on the tab, its not anchored with the rest of the form... how do i accomplish this?
