Constructor & Destructor Documentation

C4DThread()

C4DThread

(

)

Constructor. Deprecated.

~C4DThread()

virtual ~C4DThread ( )

virtual

Destructor. Deprecated.

Member Function Documentation

_Free()

void _Free ( )

private

Get()

BaseThread* Get

(

void

)

const

Retrieves the BaseThread for the thread. Deprecated.

Returns

The BaseThread of the thread. The thread owns the pointed base thread.

Start()

Bool Start	(	THREADMODE	mode = THREADMODE::ASYNC,
		THREADPRIORITYEX	priority = THREADPRIORITYEX::NORMAL
	)

Starts the thread running. Deprecated. Use maxon::ThreadInterface::Start().

Parameters

[in]	mode	The thread mode: THREADMODE
[in]	priority	The thread priority: THREADPRIORITYEX

Returns

true if the thread was started, otherwise false.

End()

void End

(

Bool

wait = true

)

Ends the thread. This function will not return until the thread has completely stopped. Deprecated. Use maxon::ThreadInterface::Wait() or GetResult().

Warning

If the thread does not check for TestBreak() then this function will not return until the thread has finished and this might get into a deadlock situation.

Parameters

[in]

wait

Determines if thread termination is synchronous or asynchronous: If true the function will not return until the thread is finished. If false the function returns immediately although the thread will still run until it is finished.

IsRunning()

Bool IsRunning

(

void

)

Checks if the thread is running. Deprecated. Use maxon::ThreadInterface::Wait().

Returns

true if the thread is running, otherwise false.

TestBreak()

Bool TestBreak

(

void

)

Checks if the thread received a break command to stop processing.
Normally this is only true when Cinema 4D is closing, or when End() has been called.
This function is used by the Semaphore class during the Semaphore::Lock() to check if the thread has been stopped. Deprecated. Use maxon::ThreadInterface::IsCancelled().

Note

Check for break conditions, such as if ESC has been pressed outside of the thread.

Returns

true processing should be terminated, otherwise false.

Wait()

void Wait

(

Bool

checkevents = false

)

Waits until the thread has finished. Deprecated. Use maxon::ThreadInterface::Wait() or GetResult().

Parameters

[in]

checkevents

If false then wait until the thread has finished. If true then additionally return if a Cinema 4D event occurred.

TestDBreak()

virtual Bool TestDBreak ( void  )

virtual

Override to add user breaks such as pressing the ESC key. This function is called by TestBreak(). Deprecated. Use maxon::ThreadInterface::IsCancelled().

Returns

true if processing should be terminated, otherwise false.

Main()

virtual void Main ( void  )

pure virtual

Override with the thread main code. Deprecated. Use maxon::ThreadInterface::operator ()().

Implemented in ProgressThread.

GetThreadName()

virtual const Char* GetThreadName ( void  )

pure virtual

Override to return the name of the thread. Deprecated. Use maxon::ThreadInterface.

Returns

The thread name. The thread owns the pointed character buffer.

Implemented in ProgressThread.
