• Windows Forms GetWindowThreadProcessId changes the Visible property of the control

I have menu options to change the visible property of the Child Forms and I have some test scenarios which validate the properties of the child forms. In my app flow I uses the GetWindowThreadProcessId Function to get the identifier of the thread that created the child form.
