c4d.threading.BaseThread¶

class c4d.threading.BaseThread¶: This is the main thread base class used internally by Cinema 4D.

Warning

This type cannot be instantiated.

Overview¶

`BaseThread.End()`	End the thread.
`BaseThread.IsRunning()`	Check if the thread is running.
`BaseThread.TestBreak()`	Check if the thread received a break command to stop processing.

BaseThread.End(self, wait=True)¶

End the thread. This function will not return before the thread has completely stopped.

Note

If the thread does not check for TestBreak() then this function will not return and you will get a deadlock.

Parameters: wait (bool) – This parameter 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.

BaseThread.IsRunning(self)¶

Check if the thread is running.

BaseThread.TestBreak(self)¶

Check if the thread received a break command to stop processing.

Return type: bool
Returns: True when Cinema 4D closes, or when a stopping condition has occurred, such as End().

Category	Option	Description
Query	Words and phrases	Search is case-insensitive. Put a phrase in quotes for an exact match. Quoted phrases require every word and disable fuzzy matching.
Terms	OR / AND	Choose whether to match any term or require all terms.
Fuzzy	On / Off	Toggle approximate and prefix matches. Quoted phrases always use strict matching.
Results	Sparse / Dense	Sparse groups multiple hits for one entity and hides its owned API members when the class or module itself matches. Dense lists each match separately.
Sort by	Type / Relevance	Group results by entity type then rank within each group, or rank all results by relevance.
Content	All / API / Manuals / Examples / Resources	Search all documentation, API documentation, manuals, the examples index, or the resources index. Code examples embedded in other sections retain their own content area.
Entity	All / Page / Module / Class / Function / Attribute / Description / Node / Symbol / Icon	Page covers results without a specific entity type. Resource entity types are available with All or Resources; API entity types are available with All or API.
Location	All / Text / Code / Name / Signature	Text covers everything outside code, names, and signatures. Name and Signature are available with All or API.
