Hello,

I would like to create a form that exists inside a Thread.  I want this so 
that the forms graphics updates are handled inside of a thread.

I do something like the following:

Thread::Execute()
{
        MSG msg;
        TmyForm * myForm = new TmyForm(NULL);
        myForm->Parent = NULL;
        myForm->ParentWindow = GetDesktopWindow();
        myForm->Left = 10;
        myForm->Top = 10;
        myForm->Width = 500;
        myForm->Height = 500;
        myForm->Visible = true;
        while(GetMessage(msg,NULL,0,0))
        {

             if(Terminated) break;
                TranslateMessage(&msg);
              DispatchMessage(&msg);

        }

        delete myForm;
}

Is this a good way to do it, or is there a better way?

Thanks,


James
