Interface IExtensionStatus

public interface IExtensionStatus

This interface provides a framework to query the status of extensions. By default, the interface provides methods to check if the extension has some unsaved data (and save them), and methods to check if the extension has some associated background tasks. However, additional aspects can be included in the status by extending this interface.

Each extension will have an associated IExtensionStatus object, which can be used at any time to check the status. This is specially useful during the Andami termination process, to check if there are unfinished tasks which should be attended before exiting.
