Thankx pal, :)

I have a issue in my thread. I have simply write this thread in a separate class.

public class Processing{
	Thread tempTH = new Thread(new Runnable() {

	    public void run(){
		int counter = 0;
		while(counter <= 10){
		    try {
			System.out.println(counter++);
			Thread.sleep(1000);
		    } 
                    catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                        System.out.println(ex);
                    }
		}
            }
	});
}

Then I call this thread, simply start the thread, in another class which I used to implement a GUI, in a click event as follows.

    private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
        // TODO add your handling code here:
        Processing appProcess = new Processing();
        appProcess.tempTH.start();
    }

Is that ok. I test it few times that the numbers are printed to console. Actually it works up to now. But why I worried is this.

Even I don't use a thread to implement my GUI, is there a possibility to suspend the GUI actions(I mean possibility to freeze GUI, its controls, etc) when running my second thread.

Because why I think this is, I don't know that Java internally use a thread to run the GUI...

Any comments for me pal...:)
