Good day to all,
Please I need your guide and support on how I can stop my GUI from freezing. I have 12 buttons, 6 trackbars and a checkbox on my GUI. The 12 buttons are used to turn ON/OFF LEDs while I am using the 6 trackbar to control the brightness of the Leds. The checkbox is used to receive DATA from the microcontroller whenever it is checked.
I have two functions in my microcontroller. One function sends DATA to the GUI while the second function receives DATA from the GUI. The problem I am having is that I can not run the two functions at the same time in my main function in the microcontroller. If I run the two functions at the same time the GUI freezes. However if I run a single function, everything will work fine. Below are sample of the functions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below IS MY C# CODE
