I am not updating the UI in any way, so using Invoke does not help. My problem is calling the ShowDialog() method, while passing it a reference parameter to a form that resides on another thread (In order for the form to "center" itself based on the referenced form). That's where I get a Cross Threading problem. Invoke does not help in this situation, or not in any way that I been able to find.
