[API] breakin long time operation from API

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I have long time working algorithm, and I start it by pressing button on dialog box. Unfortunately I cant brake it. ArchiCAD doesn't process any messages and i have to wait until the end. I've try to put algorithm in thread, but ArchiCAD crashes when I call the ACAPI_LibPart_Register function. Do You know any Check_if_there_is_message_to_process function?

Thanks!

Are you looking for something to display a progress meter with a "Cancel" button? If so, take a look at "APIIo_InitProcessWindowID" and associated commands (under "ACAPI_Interface").

Yes! That's it.
Thanks a lot.
