Hi,

I'm developing a Dialog based app which has a form for user input and is supposed to be always available while the program is running . At the same time I need to monitor the serial port and all the info that gets in being processed (there are some calcs, checking and responses being sent out).

I was thinking about using a separated thread for this serial port processing but since I´m really new on that I´m not sure if that´s the case.

Two questions:

1) Do you advice me to keep thinking about threads?

2) In case of YES is it possible to have this separated thread sending information back so that I can show it in my dialog window?

Thanks in advance.
