Thank you, Bob and Lenard, now it works. I put everything to the run() method.

This implies, that all user interfacing is done in the main thread.
What is the usual way to deal with this in an object oriented approach?
My plan was to have several classes that inherit from "Thread" and are
each responsible for a certain part of the GUI. This way I have the
possibility to easily switch one part of my GUI on or off by
instantiating resp. deleting an object of the responsible class.
Learning that one cannot delete Threads and that all GUI-event-handling
should be done in the main Thread disappointed me little. What is the
usual structure, if I want to have a highly configurable framework,
with different GUI-Windows, not present in every application?
(If more information about the special case of my project is needed, please ask)
Thank you again
Lars
