Hello I have created dll and exe (synchronous mode ONLY )of toolkit application. Can anyone let me know in which case one should go with asynchronous mode application. I am aware that asynchronous application allow toolkit and Creo (end user operations) execution simultaneously. Is this understanding correct? Additionally, real time example of need to develop asynchronous application would be of great help. Thanks in advance! Regards Ketan

Hi Chetan,

congrats on your start with toolkit.

if you look in the documentation you'll learn that (put it simply):

- exe is for asynchronous app: an application drives Creo

- dll is for synchronous app: the app is started within Creo (similarly as a plugin)

if you look in the Creo install you'll also find examples: <common files>\protoolkit\protk_appls\pt_examples

Hi ketan,

You may look into the folder <common files>\protoolkit\protk_appls\pt_async

you'll find c code there.
