IsBackgroundProcessingCompleted Method (ISldWorks)

Gets whether SOLIDWORKS has finished background processing a drawing document that requires a lot of CPU time to open.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function IsBackgroundProcessingCompleted( _
   ByVal FilePath As System.String _
) As System.Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ISldWorks
Dim FilePath As System.String
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
value = instance.IsBackgroundProcessingCompleted(FilePath)
C# 
System.bool IsBackgroundProcessingCompleted( 
   System.string FilePath
)
C++/CLI 
System.bool IsBackgroundProcessingCompleted( 
&   System.String^ FilePath
) 

Parameters

FilePath
Fully qualified path and filename of the drawing document that was opened in a background process

Return Value

True if background processing is finished, false if not

Remarks

SOLIDWORKS recommends that you only use this method with ISldWorks::EnableBackgroundProcessing and IDrawingDoc::BackgroundProcessingOption when you can quickly open a drawing document via the user interface, but that same drawing takes significantly more time to open programmatically.

To more efficiently and programmatically open a drawing document that requires a lot of CPU time and no user input:

    1. Set ISldWorks::EnableBackgroundProcessing to true.
    2. Use ISldWorks Event BackgroundProcessingStartNotify to handle the background processing start event.
    3. Open the drawing document by calling either ISldWorks::OpenDoc6 or ISldWorks::OpenDoc7.
    4. Set IDrawingDoc::BackgroundProcessingOption to swBackgroundProcessOption_e.swBackgroundProcessing_DeferToApplication.
    5. Call ISldWorks::IsBackgroundProcessingCompleted repeatedly, which polls the status of the open operation, to know when background processing ends.
    6. Use ISldWorks Event BackgroundProcessingEndNotify to handle the background processing end event.
    7. When the open operation is finished, set ISldWorks::EnableBackgroundProcessing to false.
