how to see if MD is loaded, or not with c-hook

[Kyosuke Azuma JBM]

I imagine that the thing I'm about to ask here is a piece of cake for most of the C-hook developers in the world but it's so hard for me because I'm a stranger to development.

 

I've got a question from a developer.

He just started writing the codes of the chook for Mastercam X and asked the way to determine whether machine definition now exists, or not. He is trying to port the chook from v9 to X.

 

The chook uses the NCI Import function to import the external text nci file into X. He would like his program to determine whether the (proper) machine definition is now loaded, or not when the program imports the nci file.

 

Although he refered to the SDK and I searched eMastercam for the information about it, we couldn't know how to do that.

 

Could anyone let me know the way or the information to achieve it?

(I would like to know the things, say, variable, function, etc...needed to see if the machine now exists currently.)

I read the documentations in sdk but I couldn't know what to do (It's written in Geek for me... ).
