async Property

  • Article

Specifies if asynchronous download is permitted.

Note   This property is only supported on operating systems (OSs) that have Windows Internet API (WinInet) and URL Moniker Services (URLMON) included.

boolValue = oXMLDOMDocument.async;
objXMLDOMDocument.async = boolValue;

HRESULT get_async(
  VARIANT_BOOL* isAsync
);
HRESULT put_async(
  VARIANT_BOOL isAsync
);

General Remarks

When set to True, the load method returns control to the caller before the download is finished. You can then use the readyState property to check the status of the download. You can also attach an onreadystatechange handler or connect to the onreadystatechange event to be notified when the ready state changes so that you know when the download is complete.

This member is an extension of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Document Object Model (DOM).

This property is read/write, and applies to the following interface:
