I have a button that starts a method that can be very time consuming. As the method progresses, it updates the screen to show information about its progress.

I am now trying to find a way of stopping the method part way through.

I have created a variable M.STOP which is set to NO at the beginning of the method. The method checks the value of M.STOP at various points and will terminate itself if M.STOP is found to be YES.

I have added a STOP button that sets m.STOP = "YES" when clicked.

The problem is that when the method is active, I cannot click on the STOP button because the mouse doesn't appear to work until the method is finished.

The only key that appears to work is ESC.

How do I address this problem?
