You are strongly advised to fix this problem when you see it. You might see this exception when you debug applications that you wrote with the .NET Framework prior to .NET Framework version 2.0. Note You can disable this exception by setting the value of the CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls property to false. This causes your control to run the same way as it would run under Visual Studio 2003.   I added the following line of code to LabGUI() and the problem went away however I think this is only a temporary fix.  I am not sure what kind of strange behavior might occur from this threading issue.   Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;   Thanks Randy      Report

The "temporary fix" might be appropriate for this application. The other solution might be to add a public method to the GUI class that uses a lock to modify the textbox control. Have Framework call this method via an instance sent at initialization time. A new version that solved some other issues and adds new features has been posted.    Report
