IMcResourceManagerEngineCreationOrderFromOperator Method

Returns the engine creation order of a given Operator (an interface that exposes IMcHasObject).

Namespace:  MediaCy.IQL.Engine
Assembly:  MediaCy.IQL.Engine (in MediaCy.IQL.Engine.dll) Version: 10.0.6912.0
Syntax
VB
Copy
Function EngineCreationOrderFromOperator ( 
	Operator As Object
) As Integer

Parameters

Operator
Type: SystemObject
A McObject, McObjects or interface exposing IMcHasObject.McObjects. Nothing is illegal.

Return Value

Type: Int32
The creation order as a non-negative number. The main engine is always 0. If the Operator paremeter is an interface exposing IMcHasObject that was created with CreateObject or CreateInstance instead of McEngine.CreateOperator, then -1 will be returned as the creation order. If the interface passed in is neither a McObject, McObjects or IMcHasObject, then -2 is returned.
Remarks
The engine creation order uniquely defines an McEngine instance. The singleton McEngine instance that runs in the Main, foreground UI thread always has creation order zero. Other, background engines have positive creation orders.
