Hi!
I want to prevent my users from hitting the action button in my plugin when cinema redraws the document.
The Core Message

EVMSG_DOCUMENTRECALCULATE seems to be the right one but how can I check whether it is set or not?

Wanna do a while - loop to check whether it is still redrawing or not...

thx,

lawn

It isn't possible to detect whether the editor is being redrawn, since that happens in a thread. If you tried to check it there would be a race condition.
Perhaps the solution is to call StopAllThreads() in your action? (Or tell the user not to press it when the editor is being drawn?) What is it that you want to prevent?

I want to prevent him from makin my plugin update objects of the scene but I got a solution!
in GeDialog::Message I can react on Core Messages.
There I simply set a global variable of my Dialog and that's enough. Because my Calls to the Modification system via Java Native Interface (my core code is in java...) are very slow, there's now no problem any more...
Thank you anyway...
