Modifying textbox from different procedures?

[clockwork3orange]

I have a textbox on my form that is initialized to a value on load. The string is declared globally. I also have a public procedure that is an event timer. When the event timer is fired I want to set that text box value to something different. However when the timer event fires I get an InvalidOperationExecption. It tells me a cross-thread operation not valid. Is there an easy way to bypass this? I can’t seem to do it.
