Re: Executing a method in a given thread context

Application.Run(hiddenForm);

Wouldn't this make the message pump work in the UI thread ?

No. It starts a new message pump on the current (calling) thread.

Looking at the code for Application.Run(Fomr) using Reflector, I see that
this method is doing much more than a simple message loop. This would result
in poor performance and maybe cause trouble with the mainform is used from a
worker thread. LocalModalMessageLoop looks promising but it still does too
much for a worker thread message pump.
