Work on a new thread locks the GUI
-
Hi I have an application which uploads files over FTP. I create a new thread and start uploading on that thread but GUI locks while this upload takes place. As far as I know because I am not uploading on main thread GUI should not lock and it should stay responsive. What am I doing wrong? If you need the code please tell me. Thanks.
it would be wrong to: - have an event handler start the thread and wait for it to finish; - have the thread touch any Control or windows-related Component, including Windows.Forms.Timer; this[^] explains it. If neither apply, we will need to see some code. :)

You should rather try to use Backgroundworker [^]class. In between, you should also read a **great reply from Luc [^]**to one one the questions couple of days back. This would also help you get you things clear. :thumbsup:

Thank you for your answer. My thread is interacting with a progressbar. What would be the correct way to interact with the progressbar without locking the GUI?
