[RESOLVED] threading

[Beanoid]

hi, i have a backgroundworker that performs a intensive process and at the end of the process i call a sub that i want to be executed back on the main thread

    Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
   loop runs until  bla bla



FishFingers() 'I want this sub to be executed back on the main thread  
  End Sub

is this possible?

You call RunWorkerAsync and the BackgroundWorker raises its DoWork event on a secondary thread. Once all handlers for the DoWork event have been executed, the BackgroundWorker raises its RunWorkerCompleted event on the UI thread. It's in a handler for that event that you would call your method. I suggest that you follow the CodeBank link in my signature below and check out my thread on Using The BackgroundWorker
