Hi!

Does anyone know, how to call CallCommand from a different thread?
I can't find a principe to do it, because CallCommand requires the MainThread.. what would you suggest?

Thank you...

It seems to work for me, see code:

Hi!

Perhaps I am wrong, but I checked out CallCommand

void CallCommand(LONG id, LONG subid)
{
      if (!GeIsMainThread()) return;
     BaseContainer msg(COREMSG_CINEMA_EXECUTEEDITORCOMMAND);
     msg.SetLong(COREMSG_CINEMA_EXECUTEEDITORCOMMAND, id);
     msg.SetLong(COREMSG_CINEMA_EXECUTESUBID,subid);
     SendCoreMessage(COREMSG_CINEMA, msg, 0);
}

and if CallCommand is not called from the main thread, it aborts, so it shouldn't be executed, should it?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Matthias,

you wrote that CallCommand works in a different thread. Do you know why this works, altough !GeIsMainThread() should prevent that?

Bye..
