C++ Builder 2009 Synchronize

Question

I need a method to run on the main thread in C++ Builder 2009. Reading http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE2/en/System.Classes.TThread.Synchronize it looks like they added the Synchronize functionality in XE2. Is there a way to do this in C++ Builder 2009?

it looks like they added the Synchronize functionality in XE2

I do not know where you got that idea from, but TThread::Synchronize() has existed in the RTL as long as TThread itself has existed. Originally Synchronize() was a non-static method, so you could only call it from a live TThread object. A static version was added in Delphi 7 (during the time when C++Builder was dead, so it did not appear in C++ until C++Builder was resurrected in 2006), and anonymous procedure support was added in Delphi/C++Builder 2009. So, TThread::Synchronize(), both static and non-static versions, most definitely exists in C++Builder 2009, which you can verify if you look at the declaration of the TThread class in Classes.hpp.
