Stopping Processes

[99mel]

Hi all,

Is it possible to have a button on a form which forces a stop on the process. My program uses the processor at 100% from start to end so I was just wondering whether its possible to stop it half way through?

Just like pressing Alt + Break, or is it Ctrl + Break.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

You'll have to use 'do events'.

One solution is to have a boolean that is set to false when the program starts. Put a button on the form and when you click on the button the boolean is set to true. Then put in a line in each loop of your program:
do events : if [your boolean] then msgbox("I am waiting for you to allow me to continue.&quot: [your boolean]=false

or you could also let the user choose to end the program:
if [your boolean] then if msgbox("End?",vbyesno)=vbyes then End else : [your boolean]=false
