Hi,

i was wondering what exactly this does ?

Is it allowed to do something like this from within a threaded function ??

StopAllThreads();  
GeThreadLock();  
UVWTag *tag = FindACertainUVWTag( GetActiveDocument(), some _other_data );  
if( tag ) {  
   WriteUVCoordsToTag( tag );  
   tag->GetObject()->Message( MSG_UPDATE );  
   EventAdd( EVENT_NOEXPRESSION );  
}  
GeThreadUnLock();

Or is it better to use a CoreMessage and have it sent so a MessagePlugin which does then the updating in the C4d Main Thread ??

Thanks
