Control Access within a Thread

[VFaul]

I have a label control and I want to modify its text from within a thread (example shown below), but I get a runtime access exception. How do I access controls from a thread? Imports System.Threading Imports System.Threading.Thread Public Class Form1 Public thrd As New Thread(AddressOf MyThread) Public counter As Integer = 0 Public Sub MyThread() Do counter = counter + 1 lblThreadCount.Text = "Thread Count = " & counter Sleep(100) Loop While 1 End Sub Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load lblThreadCount.Text = "Thread Count = " & counter thrd.Start() End Sub Private Sub Form1_FormClosed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosed thrd.Abort() End Sub End Class

Add the following line to the top of the Form1_Load event: Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = False
