Thanks Gambit. For most part I will not use the Synchronize method as it
could halt the thread until the main-thread handles the request. Instead, I
copy all needed values into a thread-safe place and signal the main thread
that there's info available (PostMessage). This works perfectly and allows
the heavy duty thread to perform best.
