The disappearance of WindowsForm

Question

I am developing a plugin for an application, this application "consumes" my code (classLibrary) and executes the method Init()inside its own Thread. Inside Init () I have a statement while(true)so that my plugin can run continuously.

Yesterday I started creating windowsForm to configure my plugin (using XML), and now I want to show it, but it continues to disappear. My code is as follows:

As a result of this, the form will be displayed, but it will not be re-drawn, because it starts in the same thread as while (true).

MaForm settingsForm = null;

void init(){
    While(true){
      if(settingsForm == null){
         settingsForm = new MaForm();
         settingsForm.show();
      }

    }
}

A version that shows but then disappears.

MaForm settingsForm = null;
Thread worker = null;
void init(){
    While(true){
      if(worker == null){         
         worker = new Thread(new ThreadStart(formStuff));
         worker.Start();
      }    
    }
}
void formStuff()
{
     if(settingsForm == null){
         settingsForm = new MaForm();
         settingsForm.show();
      }
}

What am I doing wrong? Is there something in Threading that I don't see? What do you guys think?
