Am I right in thinking that, if you are using a separate thread to perform a process it should not call any code in the main thread?
I have a situation where a process is consuming a lot of time so have moved it into its own thread, however the problem is that the process requires a lot of the variables held on a datamodule attached to the main form. Some are plain variables others are calculated properties but all are static in that they are determined when the application starts and then do not change. The question I have is, if I refer to the variables on the main form am I then tying the thread back into the main thread, thus removing any potential gain? I have only really played with threading in the past so don't have an instinctive feel for it yet. Also would the answer be different if just accessing say integers as opposed to calculated properties?
