Hello;)

I am making WPF C# aplication to parse GOOGLE pages and make some predictions based on that info.(university project)

My application will have 3 forms: SplashScreen, SearchScreen, Result Screen.

I use SplashScreen in order to load some recent google stock data and parse it.

Because of the amount of data i need to work with, my app uses 4 child threads to load and parse each page separately.

The problem is that splash screen has to be open till last thread finishes parsing.

After last thread finishes, app has to create new window and pass data to it, and close first window.

I sucesfully created new window with child thread but i can't close/hide previous one.

I am complitely aware that window has to be closed with main thread but in my case it's simply imposible.

Not to mention in windows forms i neved had issues with that.

Does anyone know what can i do with that?

The last method which colects all data and closes previous form is GroupData() but it didn't work:(
