    Another Thread Problem

    Hey. Ok so I have a thread and it runs a few methods. At a certain time, the thread is supposed to call a method that's not in the thread. This method includes setting labels visible and making the forum bigger. For some reason it never works. It appears that this thread isn't able to call a non-thread method. Does this sound right? Any ideas on what I could do to fix this?

    Thanks
    John

    Re: Another Thread Problem

    There's no such things as thread methods and non-thread methods. The same method can be executed in more than one thread. It just depends where it was called from. If you're trying to affect the UI from a worker thread then that's your problem. Search the forum for "invokerequired" and my user name and you'll find multiple examples of using a delegate to affect the UI from a worker thread.
