Hi

I would like to put a condition in a method that is based on whether or not
the method was loaded on to the main thread of the application or another
thread (I do not want the user to see any messaged triggered by the other
threads).

Thank you
Samuel

Well,,, it's always running in System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.
Why do you care? A thread's behavior should be controlled by
options/settings, IMO.

In the gui/main thread, capture the main thread object in a module, eg:

Public MainThread As Threading.Thread = Threading.Thread.CurrentThread()

Where you want to test, do something like this:

If System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread() Is MainThread Then
' running on main thread
Else
' running on another thread
End If

Can you be more specific about the messages that are triggered by the
other threads? What kind of messages are you talking about? How are
they stored? How are they triggered exactly?
 
Thank you

Works beautifully
