I have to admit to having some major confusion on this issue. All the
documentation I've been able to find is completely conflicting.
I have a slight twist I'd like to put on this question.
Just for fun/learning I am writing a little Gaim-like IM client in GTK#
I'll post a abbreviated version of what I'd like to do and see if
someone can point me to a good reference doc at least ;)
I know it has to do with invoke/delegates, but not sure how to get it
to run from another class
Any help/pointers/references are appreciated. Thx!
