Refresh information on the UI from the code?

[MadJik]

I'm just not able to find the way to write a result of counting some pixels depending on conditions into the text of a label/textbox of the UI.

I'm missing that syntax and I would appreciate help from you for this part of code.

In the render section I want to change the text of a field on the dialog UI...

Hope it's clear enough!

I do that very thing in my Standard Shapes/Stars project... look in that source code.

Off the top of my head I think it's simply a call to Update();

Ok, but you are still inside the EffectPluginConfigDialog.cs.

I want to do the same from the EffectPlugin.cs !

Your Render method doesn't have any direct way to communicate with the config dialog. You might be able to communicate somehow using the token, but I don't know if the token passed to the Render methods is a clone or the original from the dialog. Another way that I know works is to save a temp file. Just make sure that you do something to prevent your code from trying to write the file thousands of times at once, as that would be the tendency of the many Render threads.

Your Render method should not be communicating with the config dialog at all. It should pretend like it doesn't even exist. Especially because it actually truly might not exist -- take Ctrl+F for "Repeat [effect]", for instance.
