hello!
i am new to this forum and to upp. i quit programming more than 10 years ago, but i ever felt like coding again - can´t help it, can´t quit thinking in code. so i am about to jump in all this again.
searching for a lean, smart, flexible and portable dev system i came across upp and - wow - got very impressed by upp features! hats off! i hope, it turns out to be the right choice for a new start.
however, having used c++ for console applications only, i am quite new to this message driven gui concept. despite plenty of tutorials i hope you wouldn´t mind me asking some newbish questions... be certain i´ve been giving my best searching the web for answers 
so my questions are:
1. i miss something like SetPixel(x,y,c) - for the moment i use DrawLine(x,y,x,y+1,c) instead, but somehow i feel this is not very clever...
2. oh my  how can i call the designer on a .lay file?
3. playing around with some fractal graphics, i settled the rendering within the paint method - making me wait to finish rendering before any input message could be processed, e.g. to close the window or change it´s size...
is there any simpler approach than jumping into multithreading?
i think of calling the eventloop from within my rendering loop, or maybe to use a timer... but i´m not sure if there are any appropriate gui methods around or if i overlook something very simple... you see my lack of gui-experience? what would you propose?
thank you!

See this: http://www.ultimatepp.org/srcdoc$Draw$ImgTutorial$en-us.html and read "3. Creating and altering images in the code using ImageBuffer"

Probably you will get better answers... but I think these are not bad .
... and you are welcome !

and I was used to use DoEvents(). Now I use threads because the implementation is easy to use and the examples are simple. But perhaps you would want to wait for it some time to be more "instructed" in Upp.
