I've created a customer panel that works as a RSS scrolling banner. If I start two scrolling banners (Component.Add) , as one of the panels gets a new RSS feed it completely stops the other panel from scrolling until it has finished downloading the feed. I've put the RSS fetch on its own thread but to no avail. I guess I need to start each component on its own thread. How is this achieved?

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

First, let me state, I am a total newbie!!!

C# Application.
I want to create a floating control panel similar to the PhotoShop's floating designer panel (with images as buttons). It must be capable of floating outside the Parent Form (minimised or otherwise). What is the best approach to this problem?

Thanks in advance.
