Opening forms in other thread
Jul 23 2006 4:48 PM
Background threads are perfect for big calculations in background, but I'm unable to create form that actually works in other thread. Either it closes emidietly, or, when I put thread proces in a infinite loop, then opened form is "stucked", busy icon appears when I move mouse over it, and it doesen't initialize it's components. This is what I'm trying to do: I want to start another thread in background that will go to the database every n-minutes, and get data from it, check if there is any new data since the last update, and show Popup-style form(s). Now, I could do it with timer in one thread, but what if that process of getting new data from database takes long? I don't want it to slow down the main application....... I downloaded one example that worked with popup messages in other thread, but I just couldn't understand why it worked there... So if anyone could give me general tips and tricks, "how to do it", I would appricate it .... Thanks in advance..
