I'd like to set a global variable in my code that all running threads (DRO readers, Jog tools, etc) can check to determine if the KM_Interpreter is running gcode. The safest method I can find to do this would be setup something like this:

Set IsRunningGCode=True in the Interpreter.StatusUpdated event the first time it is raised, then

Set IsRunningGCode=False when the Interpreter.StatusCompleted event is raised

....but this could miss any code that runs before the first time the StatusUpdated event is raised. Is there already a variable like this available or is there a method of checking that GCode is running (or not) already since Interpreter.Interpret() returns immediately after being called? Or does the StatusUpdated event return something akin to "I'm beginning to run GCode".

My end goal here is to disable my UI and any chance of the user running other GCode/motion during the time that the already running GCode is being processed while also checking for Aborts.
