Solution 1

C#

private void process()
{
btnCreate.Invoke((MethodInvoker) delegate { btnCreate.Enabled = false; chkGroup.Enabled = false; });
//long process
}
 
Thread create = new Thread(new ThreadStart(process));
create.IsBackground = true;
create.Start();

You have to pass a delegate to the Thread object, which is of type ThreadStart. Then for updating the UI you have to update it on the UI thread, using the Control.Invoke method.

My 5, but: I would not explain the thread start, as there are different methods of getting a thread, so you better don't create an impression that this method is related to the problem, besides, OP probably knows it already. Also, the method if invocation is not the only one. Just good to know...

Actually, it's better to pass parameters (such as btnCreate or chkGroup) to Invoke method, to avoid unnecessary closure effect (which however can be well used, but not everyone understands its implications).
