Well, the keep alive should be in because I monitor the mouse input through unmanaged code via delegates. The way I tried like I said aborted this. But I recently found the solution or better the solution why this wasn't working. When using Windows.Forms you have to explicitly invoke the methods that should do their work in other threads than the UI thread. And my code did not work because this ist was not static. I so created a static reference to the Windows.Form in the static program class (that normally starts the application) and in he Forms class the static Thread, ThreadStart and a MethodInvoker that calls the method to be performed (in my case the mouse monitor class) and itself is called myForm.BeginInvoke(myMethodInvoker). The BeginInvoke call is in a method that is the argument of ThreadStart. Last but not least you have to create the Thread in the Form with the ThreadStart an everything works fine. Found this somewhere on microsoft.com but can't remember where, didn't bookmark that. But thanks for your replies.
