I have a process that can take several seconds, maybe as long as a minute to complete. At the start of the process, I show a hidden group that includes progress messages and also a cancel button.
When the cancel button is clicked, the group is hidden again and I need to find a way to stop the process at that point. LC sees the mouse click since the group disappears but I have not been able to find a way to stop the processing. At various points throughout the processing, I check if the group is visible and if so, I exit all the way out of the process - tried exit top and cascading exits up the handler chain. Didn't work. Also, when I try to check this out by stepping though with debug, the group is still visible on the screen long after the hide command has been issued. I also tried setting a custom property in the script of the cancel button and checked the custom property at various points of the processing. Didn't work either In both cases, I tried inserting a wait at the end of the cancel button script but that didn't seem to make any difference. It's entirely possible that I'm not handling this correctly in my script but before I start delving into it further, I thought I would ask if it is possible to deal with this situation within LC.
