Multithreading Help

[debanjan.dutta]

guys am new to these multithreading concepts. I have got a windows application which has got a treeview and a button. On form_load event, i am filling in the treeview with the directory listings of my computer. Since there are lots and lots of directories and files, the amount of time consumed to do this is huge, about 5 mins. Now i wish to be able to cancel this operation(loading treeview) by clicking on the button. I knw only this much that this can be easily handled by multithreading. so plz help me.

P.S...i am using vs2003

multi threadding can be dangerous in the wrong hands. so be careful and make sure everything is thread safe.
