# XAsyncGetStatus

> XAsyncGetStatus

# XAsyncGetStatus

Returns the status of the asynchronous call, optionally waiting for it to complete.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT XAsyncGetStatus(  
         XAsyncBlock* asyncBlock,  
         bool wait  
)  
```

### Parameters

*asyncBlock*   \_Inout\_\
Type: [XAsyncBlock\*](/reference/system/xasync/structs/xasyncblock)

A pointer to the [XAsyncBlock](/reference/system/xasync/structs/xasyncblock) that was passed to the asynchronous call.

*wait*   \_In\_\
Type: bool

If true, `XAsyncGetStatus` waits until the asynchronous call either completes or is canceled.

### Return value

Type: [HRESULT](https://learn.microsoft.com/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-erref/0642cb2f-2075-4469-918c-4441e69c548a)

Returns `S_OK` if successful; otherwise, returns an error code. For a list of error codes, see [Error Codes](/reference/errorcodes).

## Remarks

Once the asynchronous call is complete, you can then call [XAsyncGetResult](/reference/system/xasyncprovider/functions/xasyncgetresult) to get the results if the asynchronous call has a resulting data payload. If the asynchronous call doesn't have a resulting data payload, you don't have to call [XAsyncGetResult](/reference/system/xasyncprovider/functions/xasyncgetresult).

**Note:** Both a completion callback and `XAsyncGetStatus` with a wait parameter of true can be used to identify when a call has finished. The ordering of these calls can be ambiguous and as a best practice you should not use both for the same call.

## Requirements

**Header:** XAsync.h

**Library:** xgameruntime.lib

**Supported platforms:** Windows, XBOX One family consoles and XBOX Series consoles
