Question

I’m calling a thread from within a for loop that closes a document. The problem is, the loop continues and tries to open another document before the code in the thread finishes. How can I pause the loop and wait for the document close event. Thanks.

edit

here is my code…

    public void OpenFile()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        {
            if (i != 1)
            {
                try
                {
                    uiApp.OpenAndActivateDocument(TargetPath(i));
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
                }
            }
            ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(CloseDoc));
        }
    }

    static void CloseDoc(object stateInfo)
    {
        try
        {
            SendKeys.SendWait("^{F4}");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
        }
    }

I tried adding ‘Thread.Sleep(3000)’ after CloseDoc, that didn’t work. It looks like ‘waitone methods in manual/auto reset event classes’ would be my best bet. @GAPS can you elaborate? Thank you!

Please elaborate your question…
for time being to answer your question I will suggest you to use waitone methods in manual/auto reset event classes. you can notify your waiting thread that your document is closed and then you can proceed.

AutoReset

ManualReset
