How to check if API can connect to FM?

Hi in my FMClient I have the following method for checking if API is alive: bool FMClient::IsConnected() { return F_ApiAlive() > 0; } After I connect to FM with F_ApiStartUp the IsConnected method returns true. However, If the user closes the FM application then this method still continue returns true. How can I check if the FM application is alive and the FMClient is connected with it? Should I run and test an API call? e.g. Try to get the current active document or something else?

Yes, single-threaded is the normal state. There might be tricks around it, though. You would need to ask someone with a bit more programming expertise. I would ask the question here:

Ch,

There might not be an active document. Maybe ask for the version (FP_VersionMajor)? Seems more reliable, although this is just a guess. I have not been in this situation before.

Thanks Russ.

I have tried to get the FP_UserName and it works.

However, because my code runs on a timer when the user selects text and do drag and drop then the API calls return nothing.

Is this because the FDK is single threaded or not?
