Can you create a window in its own thread?

Question

In c++ you could create separate uithreads. These threads had their own message pump and you could create windows in them. You could post messages to these windows using PostThreadMessage. Is their any way of doing this in c#? Is the only thread that can have a message pump the main ui thread? Thanks in advance

Turns out it is VERY EASY to do this. According to the documentatin for Application.Run it begins running a standard application message loop on the current thread. So to display a window in its own thread with its own message loop all you have to do is create a new thread in its threadstart function call Application.Run( new SomeNewWindow()); Now whether this(having two message loops) is a good idea or not is a totally different question!
