Error when Minimized

I have a form that uses Threads to process data every second.  I have noticed during testing, when the Form is minimized, I receive the following error (stack trace):< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Is there a special ‘minimize’ handler needed while using threads
