Hi! I have a thread and would like to send a Windows Message to the component that encapsulates the thread, so that the event specified to react on that message would be raised. I know how to do that in C++, but I am a bit lost with CLR. Thanks! Atmapuri Atmapuri, Have you taken a look at the Invoke method on the Control class? It will do what you want, you pass it a delegate and arguments to be passed to the delegate, and it will make the call to the delegate on the thread that created the control.

The help file says: "If the control's handle does not exist yet, this method searches up the control's parent chain If no appropriate handle can be found, the Invoke method will throw an exception." My component does not have a parent. In C++ I would call: CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW,... To get the handle. Thanks! Atmapuri Atmapuri, Well, if that component is expecting windows messages, then it means that it is pumping for them on a particular thread. If you have a thread id, then you can send a message to that thread queue calliong the PostThreadMessage API function through P/Invoke. If you have a handle to a window that is owned by that thread, then you can call SendMessage through the P/Invoke layer.
