user interface thread

[Guest]

In my windows form (VB.Net), I have a lengthy operation and a Stop button
that allows the user to stop the operation. However, the Stop button will be
available only after the operation is finished. The operation involves
subs/functions from serveral classes, and I have problems to make it a
thread. So can I start a thread that watches the Stop button and handles the
click event.
Thanks

The last two links on the page referenced below will implement this feature:
