Syntax

C#
C++/CLI

public class EplanMainThreadDispatcher

public ref class EplanMainThreadDispatcher

Remarks

Executing API code purely of of main Eplan thread is not recommended, i.e. such scenarios were not tested and are out of support. So the class enables executing API code on a main thread from another thread (i.e. like in case of non-modal dialogs or a background worked)

Example

//run an action asynchronously
eplanMainThreadDispatcher.ExecuteInMainThreadAsync(
        () => { new CommandLineInterpreter().Execute("check /TYPE:PROJECT"); }
    );

//create a progress bar with a background work
using (Progress progress = new Progress("SimpleProgress"))
{
    eplanMainThreadDispatcher.AddProgressBackgroundWork(progress,
        () => { new CommandLineInterpreter().Execute("check /TYPE:PROJECT"); }
    );
}
