Hi, I guess the simplest solution would be to use a IupTimer (on the main thread) and a mutex-condition pair, Inside the timer callback you check for a flag, for instance. But that check must be protected (lock+check+unlock), also the flag updated from the other thread must be protected too (lock+update+unlock). Not the best solution, but a a simple one that works fine.
