Hi, Just a reminder: Don't forget the Model-View-Controller architecture for GUIs. In a nutshell, all that means is you have an input, an output, and a bunch of processing that has to be done between entering an input and displaying the output. The input and the output are handled by the GUI (IUP in this case) while the processing (the "Model") is handled by your application code. GUIs do not require external multithreading to function, only the processing portion may require multithreading, so if you want to thread an application, don't ask the GUI to do it for you. Using IUP for multithreading your code is not the appropriate place for that to happen. Let's not let IUP become a victim of feature-itus nor add something that will make IUP less secure.
