The ComponentFlags.Loading field is a member of the ComponentFlags enumeration in the Sandbox namespace. It is used to indicate that a component is currently in the process of loading. This flag can be useful for managing component states during asynchronous operations or when initializing components that require loading resources.
Use the ComponentFlags.Loading flag to mark a component as being in a loading state. This can help in tracking the component's lifecycle and managing its behavior during the loading process. It is particularly useful in scenarios where components need to be initialized with external resources or data.
// Example of using ComponentFlags.Loading
public class MyComponent : Component
{
public void StartLoading()
{
// Set the component's state to loading
this.Flags |= ComponentFlags.Loading;
// Simulate loading process
LoadResources();
}
private void LoadResources()
{
// Loading logic here
// ...
// Once loading is complete, clear the loading flag
this.Flags &= ~ComponentFlags.Loading;
}
}
