Then , the toolboxex became white + redCrossed.

As you can see the exception is not even handled, but intercepted OnUnhandledApplication on the application level...

    Are you interacting with the UltraToolbarsManager or any of its sub-objects in the thread pool threads? If so, this is not allowed. Just like other WinForms Controls and Components, you con only access it from the UI thread. There are certain exceptions to this rule, such as when calling Invoke, BeginInvoke, and InvokeRequired. But for just about everything else, you must invoke calls to the UI thread when you want to interact with the UltraToolbarsManager.
