Hi All,
I think this is a question I tacked onto a previous one but here goes. I remember in VB6 there was a way to ensure a button was always clickable from the ide, I'm guessing there is a way of doing the same in Visual C# 2008. I think it maybe possible by creating a service for that button only but is there a simple(ish) way of doing this the button only needs to be available some time not all the time.

If you have a long winded loop running on the user interface thread, then you can call Application.DoEvents() at the end of each iteration to process any events in the queue such as a button click.
This is a similar concept to VB6's DoEvents function. The .NET version has some issues (such as possible re-entry of eventhandlers) but, if you're careful how you use it, it's an easy solution to keeping the UI responsive.
However, if the loop is running on a background thread, then the UI should remain responsive in any case.
