C# calling form.show() from another thread

Question

if I call form.show() on a WinForms object from another thread, the form will throw an exception. Is where any way I can add a new, visible form to the main ap

Answer 1

You should call Application.Run() after you call form.Show(). For example:

public void showForm() 
{
    // Do some work here.
    myForm form = new myForm();
    form.Text = "my text";
    form.Show();
    Application.Run();
    // Do some more work here
}
