Multi-threading and balloon tips

[kjnhu]

I am using two threads. When i start the second thread i am sleeping the first for 10 minutes. during this time, the secondary thread is going through some code which includes a balloon tip on a tray icon which was created during the first thread, but this tip isn't showing even though i know the second thread gets to the point that it should be showing the tip. any suggestions?

Are you using vb6 or vb.net?

I'm only a Vb6 programmer, but it sounds as though it's trying to interact with the first thread, which is still snoozing. Does that sound reasonable?
