Handling events for specific Form

Question

In my application, each thread handle a Form, and its events shall executed within the thread handling the Form.

Is there a way to handle events for a specific System.Windows.Form instance? Application.Run doesn't fit my design, and Application.DoEvents process events for each Form instantiated by the application.

Answer 1

You'll run into a bit of an issue, as all of your Form's will be on the UI Thread, and thus the events are not "free threaded". The suggested method to handle this is for long-running tasks to be pushed to a BackgroundWorker or perhaps to a ThreadPool. You would then use Invoke to execute tasks on the UI Thread, making the handling of actions multithreaded while the UI is still single threaded.
