Hej,
Are you saying that if my application creates a worker thread then the main
thread will not be blocked?
I appear to be experiencing this.... i.e. my worker thread blocks my main
thread.
To set what is happening I have dropped a TTimer on my form that will
trigger every 200ms and update a label with the current time.
When I make the call to my worker thread I see the timer stop, then after a
few seconds the app can be dragged arround the desktop, but the time does
not get updated. 20 seconds later I have control again.
