[RESOLVED] Thread Form and Owner

[mickey_pt]

Hi
I have a little form that has to do a time consuming job, so the correct way to tell the user that the process it's running it's using a progress bar...
So i decided to create a new form with 2 labels and a progress bar, to show over the little window, that show a title the progress and the number of lines already processed.

Everything is working, except the Z order of this form, i can set the form to be top most, but this is not the correct way, so i think that the correct way it's setting the owner of this new form. The only problem it's the cross threaded exceptions.

How can i set the owner of the form without the exceptions?
Should i look to the CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls?

Dim maxVal As Integer = 30
        Dim newForm As New FormProgress()
        Dim newThr As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf newForm.ShowDialog)
        newThr.Start()
        newForm.SetMaxValue(maxVal) 'Set the progress var 
        newForm.SetTitle("Test title...")
        For i As Integer = 1 To maxVal
            Threading.Thread.Sleep(500)
            newForm.SetCurrentValue(i)
        Next
        newForm.CloseForm()
