System.Diagnostics.Process.Start and UI 2004

Question

Can anyone tell me if (how) I can use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to spawn external applications from a trapped item event in my add-on?
My application model is the standard startup/sub main.  It looks like this:
Module Startup
    Sub Main()
        Dim oAV As MyObject
        oAV = New MyObject
        ' Startup
        System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
    End Sub
End Module
MyObject contains a "New()" that sets the SBO_Application object etc.  It also contains a few subs that capture events in the sbo UI such as button presses.  Now, the trick - how do I set up my threading model correctly to allow me to launch an external application like calculator from within the UI?
Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you are having a problem becuase you are launching your application (calc.exe in example) under a thread that is then closing.  You can use the invoke delegate to launch from the 'parent' thread.  You will probably have to make a delegate function and call that with me.invoke(delegate)
Look at 'invoke' in the msdn.
