Overview
This code snippet shows how to change an asynchronous method interface to a synchronous method. This can be done with CActiveSchedulerWait.
There are two different synchronous methods:
- CMyClass::DoAsynchronousL() uses CActiveSchedulerWait for waiting for the asynchronous method that completes with CMyClass::AsyncComplete()
- CMyClass::DoAsynchronousWithStatusL() uses CActiveSchedulerWait for waiting for the asynchronous method that has TRequestStatus in its interface. The method completes with CMyClass::RunL().

The following capabilities and libraries are required:
CAPABILITY None
LIBRARY euser.lib
Header
#include <e32base.h>
// for CSomeAsyncClass
class MAsynchIF
{
public:
void AsyncComplete(TInt aResult);
};
class CMyClass : public CActive, MAsynchIF
{
public:
static CMyClass* NewLC();
virtual ~CMyClass();
// Synchronous methods
TInt DoAsynchronousL();
TInt DoAsynchronousWithStatusL();
private: // From MAsynchIF (CSomeAsyncClass)
void AsyncComplete(TInt aResult);
private: // From CActive
void RunL();
void DoCancel();
private:
CSomeAsyncClass* iSomeAsyncClass;
CActiveSchedulerWait iSchedulerWait;
TInt iResult;
};

}
Postconditions
The asynchronous methods looks like a synchronous method.
