[Gambas-user] How to abort a large loop ?

[Pino Zollo]

Hi,
In my form I have the button 'GO' which starts a long work made in a loop 
FOR-NEXT.

There is also a button 'ABORT' just in case the user wants to stop the long 
work.

The code is more or less like this:

abort_flag = FALSE
PUBLIC SUB Go_Click()
 FOR .......

      .....big computation

    WAIT
    IF abort_flag THEN BREAK
 NEXT
END

PUBLIC SUB Abort_Click()
  abort_flag=TRUE
END

But unfortunately it does not work as the button 'ABORT' is frozen until the 
loop FOR-NEXT ends. The WAIT does not help.
Please Help !
