Displaying a second form in another thread?

[jaycee]

I am trying to display a second form via another thread but it disappears immeditely. How can I get it to remain visible while the main form performs some other processing? Any help would be appreciated - thanks

See if this works for you:

Application.Run(new frmYourFormNameHere())

I think this will only exist while the thread does, but that sounds like what you want anyways.

I'm just learning about threading, so take this with a grain of salt.

Why would you want your main form to do some processing and spawn a thread to show a form? I believe the thread dies as soon as the method your thread points to ends.

It might be a better idea to create a thread from your main thread that does the processing, and let the main thread show the other form.
