Control.Invoke Questions

Hi, I am new to this forum (all forums, actually). I have read several and found them helpful, but I couldn't find anything to help me with this problem. I am trying to create a thread and from within the thread, add a node to a treeview. But I get the following error:
-
The action being performed on this control is being called from the wrong thread. You must marshal to the correct thread using Control.Invoke or Control.BeginInvoke to perform this action.
-
My code is:
-
Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Dim t As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf Go)
t.Start()
t = Nothing
End Sub

Private Sub Go()
TreeView1.Nodes.Add("NodeInfo")
End Sub
-
I'm thinking I have to use delegates, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Why are you using a thread to fill the treeview?

Why are you using a thread to fill the treeview?

Basically, I am trying to make a program similar to Windows Media Player 9. I am using a new thread to check different folders for any activity, and it may be checking several folders, and I do not want it to slow down the rest of my program. Like I said, I am new and trying to learn the tricks to making a good application. I assumed threading is a pretty important part of that. If there is a better way to do this, please let me know. Thanks.

ps. The small example of my problem that I sent in my first message was really nothing. It was my problem simplified to the bare minimum, to save space in the forum.
