I just answered to list.

Once again.

You want say that if thread2  executes Valentina task

Then thread 1, which is not related to plugin calls cannot update GUI ????
How this can be ???


======
Well,

I know that RB have internal threading based on cooperative.
I know that plugin SDK have yield() fucntion.
But we could call it from plugin, but not from vkernel, because vkernel
don't know anything about REALbasic.

In theory we could provide callback, but then we need do many job and insert
calls of this callback into all such places ... And this will be needed only
for RB...
