Hi,

I have a EXE COM server running in a Multithreaded apartment.

The application works, but when I come to fire events from a worker
thread I get into all sorts of trouble!

I have three worker threads in a test application as shown below.  If I
start the threads (via three button presses on the server) I have no
problem the Visual Studio built client hears all the events fine.

This is where it gets confussing... When I start the threads via a
Client call (below) all three threads start and fire one event which is
heard by the client, after that each thread gets stuck on the
'Synchronize' call for around fif{*word*249} seconds then frees up but the GUI
is not displayed to after that but the threads are working!

I have tried many things 'marshalling' etc.. nothing works!

Could someone please help?

Thanks in advance

Arron
