    Angry Display form from background thread?!

    Hey guys, i'm having really hard time displaying new form from the
    inside of Event hadler that runs within the process of the caller.
    the new form shows but i cant focus on it and it just hungs there.

    Private Sub on_PrivateMessage(ByVal vUserName As String, ByVal
    vMessage As String) Handles objC.PrivateMessage
    Dim lForm As frmPrivate

    lForm = New frmPrivate
    lForm.gNick = vUserName
    lForm.DisplayMessage(vUserName, vMessage)
    lForm.Visible = True

    End Sub

    if i use lForm.ShowDialog() then it paints okay and i can interact
    with it but then the main form stops processing messages...

    Please help.
