Detecting a executeCommandOnIdle (maybe a callback like afterExecuteIdle)

[dmorton]

need to detect if acommand in thread queue is executed successfully.but it executes when maya idle.so I need a callback or some other way that I dont know that I need if this command executed.

MStatus MS=MGlobal::executeCommandOnIdle("polySphere;polySphere;polySphere");
MGlobal::displayInfo("This line should be displayed after IdleCommand.But it doesnt");

is it possible ?(any help is much appreciated.)

Use MEventMessage::addEventCallback with the ilde event, remeber to delete yourself in the event tough or youll get a infite loop.

Simple and bad (you dont need globals but its fast to do, casues a leak warning tough for understandable reasons) python example (port yourself):

import maya.OpenMaya as om
global id
def idleCB(*args):
  print args
  om.MMessage.removeCallback(id)

id = om.MEventMessage.addEventCallback("idle", idleCB, None)
