Hey guys, i'm having really hard time displaying new form from the
inside of Event hadler that runs within the process of the caller.
the new form shows but i cant focus on it and it just hungs there.

Private Sub on_PrivateMessage(ByVal vUserName As String, ByVal
vMessage As String) Handles objC.PrivateMessage
Dim lForm As frmPrivate

lForm = New frmPrivate
lForm.gNick = vUserName
lForm.DisplayMessage(vUserName, vMessage)
lForm.Visible = True

End Sub

if i use lForm.ShowDialog() then it paints okay and i can interact
with it but then the main form stops processing messages...

Please help.
 
You may have to call Application.Run on the new thread to start the
message loop.
