PrinterMonitorComponent.ThreadTimeout Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the PrinterMonitorComponent control monitors the job added event.

[Visual Basic]
Public Property ThreadTimeout As Integer
[C#]
public int ThreadTimeout {get; set;}
[C++]
public: __property int get_ThreadTimeout();
public: __property void set_ThreadTimeout(int);
[JScript]
public function get ThreadTimeout() : integer;
public function set ThreadTimeout(integer);

Property Value

If set to -1 the polling thread will only return when a printer event occurs. Otherwise this value is the polling interval in milliseconds.

Remarks

This should be set before the DeviceName is set.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example creates a PrinterMonitorComponent control to monitor a printer named "Cannon BJC640". This example uses the ThreadTimeout to set the thread polling frequency to 1 second intervals to reduce the load on the system.

[Visual Basic] 
Private Sub CreateMyPrinterMonitorComponent()
    ' Create an instance of a PrinterMonitorComponent control.
    Dim PrinterMonitorComponent1 As New PrinterMonitorComponent()
    
    ' Ignore JobAdded Events
    PrinterMonitorComponent1.ThreadTimeout = 1000


    ' Start monitoring the HP Laserjet 4 printer
    PrinterMonitorComponent1.DeviceName = "Cannon BJC640"

End Sub


[C#] 
private void CreateMyPrinterMonitorComponent()
 {
    // Create an instance of a PrinterMonitorComponent control.
    PrinterMonitorComponent PrinterMonitorComponent1 = new PrinterMonitorComponent();
    
    //Ignore JobAdded Events
    PrinterMonitorComponent1.ThreadTimeout = 1000;

    // Start monitoring the HP Laserjet 4 printer
    PrinterMonitorComponent1.DeviceName = "Cannon BJC640";

 }
