long GetReadyState( );
Return Value
The readiness state of the control, one of the following values:
READYSTATE_UNINITIALIZED
Default initialization state
READYSTATE_LOADING
Control is currently loading its properties
READYSTATE_LOADED
Control has been initialized
READYSTATE_INTERACTIVE
Control has enough data to be interactive but not all asynchronous data is yet loaded
READYSTATE_COMPLETE
Control has all its data
Remarks
Call this function to return the readiness state of the control.
Most simple controls never need to differentiate between LOADED and INTERACTIVE. However, controls that support data path properties may not be ready to be interactive until at least some data is received asynchronously. A control should attempt to become interactive as soon as possible.
