I don't know if you want to get into threading and message queues and all that for this situation, although you may have simplified things somewhat for your post as to what you need to have done. It sounds like it'd be easiest to simply have the second form raise an event that the first form listens for.

The situation is that ShowForm() will fire up a form and display it, however, when the form is displayed it can and will at somepoint call the FormRespond() method in the class, once the FormRespond() method is called I want ShowForm() to continue and return the reponse from the form.
