    // Static form. Null if no form created yet.
    private static Form1 form = null;

    private delegate void EnableDelegate(bool enable);

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        form = this;
    }

    // Static method, call the non-static version if the form exist.
    public static void EnableStaticTextBox(bool enable)
    {
        if (form != null)
            form.EnableTextBox(enable);
    }

    private void EnableTextBox(bool enable)
    {
        // If this returns true, it means it was called from an external thread.
        if (InvokeRequired)
        {
            // Create a delegate of this method and let the form run it.
            this.Invoke(new EnableDelegate(EnableTextBox), new object[] { enable });
            return; // Important
        }

        // Set textBox
        textBox1.Enabled = enable;
