Ahh. Actually, there is no "main thread" or something. Gambas is single- threaded throughout. In GUI programs, the so-called "event loop" kicks in automatically because you have windows open. See the docs[0]. You can also force the event loop to run by putting While True Wait 2 ^ 30 Wend before your Main() ends. This will call the event loop forever without being too busy in the loop. So your program will not terminate except when you use Quit or something. BTW: Gambas is a nice language. You cannot make threats with it :-) Threads are also not possible in Gambas currently. (You should look up the word "threat" in a dictionary.) The closest thing you can have is "Task" but I've no experience with this.
