I usually do it like this:
1. In the form, I have a memo object (and perhaps an animated control).
2. To do the actual work, I create a TThread derived object and execute it from the form.
3. The TThread object updates the form as it does various tasks.
The advantage of this is that I'm guaranteed that the form is created first before the thread executes, since the form creates the thread object. Also, you can easily pass the form's variable to the thread since you're creating it from the form.
