How to delete a idle hook?

you can call any AE function from an external thread!

what you should do is:

1. in your entry point function register the idle hook, and launch the

external thread.

2. have your external thread stroke it's gotten data in some global scope

structure.

3. when AE calls your idle hook function, check if that global scope

structure was filled and ready to be used. if so, execute you processing

code from within the idle hook. if not, check again next time around.

4. done? set your "skip idle hook" flag to true so you don't process again,

and kill the external thread.

5. you're done. go to lunch.

alternatively, you can make a sychronized call to your server from within

the idle hook call, and save yourself the external thread stuff.

i repeat the idea behind all of this:

you may only use AE suites when AE is ready for it.

when is AE ready for it?

only when AE calls you. (i.e. the entry point function or idle hook

function)

so you have to register the idle hook and perform your operations that

interface with AE at such a time.
