Kill a handler

[dunbarx at aol.com]

 To break into your loop so that an external control can, er, take control, add this line as appropriate inside your loop(s):


wait 0 with messages


This will let the handler look outside itself for a brief instant, so that a mouseUp message can be generated by that "cancel" button.


You do know that cmd-period will abort any running hsndler, right?

Hi,

Is there a way u can kill a handler that is currently running (has long loops on 
it so runs a while).

I am building a desktop version of the mobileActivity indicator and want to add 
a cancel button so it can cancel any current operation within the program...
