How can I get program status such as interrupted, stopped, in progress, waiting, aborted and so on via Thinc API? There is nothing similar to it in CProgram of Okuma.CLDATAPI.DataAPI and Okuma.CMDATAPI.DataAPI.

On a Lathe API >= 1.9.1 or on a mill API >= 1.12.1 (I think) you can use the CMachine.GetNCStatus function
Public Function GetNCStatus(ByVal enNCStatus As NCStatusEnum) As OnOffStateEnum
Pass in the status you wish to check and this function will return to you a Boolean err I mean an On or Off from the OnOffStateEnum
The NCStatusEnum members:
- Program Stop: M00, M01
- STM: Waiting on M-code, spindle acceleration, or Tool Change
- SlideHold: Slide hold button was pushed
- Limit: X,Z axes are at their variable limit position
- Alarm: Indicates that machine is an alarm condition
- Run: The machine is actually operating in the Automatic or MDI mode.
In earlier versions of the API some of the same states could be tested by checking I/O bits.
