IAMOpenProgress (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
This interface reports the progress of a file-open operation and enables the application to cancel the operation.
When to Implement
Filters that open files over a network can expose this interface to provide download-progress information.
When to Use
An application can use this interface to query the progress of the download, or to cancel the download. If the network is not responsive, a method such as IGraphBuilder::RenderFile might block for an indefinite period. To prevent your application from blocking, create a worker thread that uses IAMOpenProgress to monitor the progress. The worker thread can cancel the operation if a predefined time-out occurs, or in response to a command from the user.
