>Hi,All,
>I've got an interesting problem. I have a form with multiple buttons to start different things. One of these buttons starts a very lengthy process, progress of which I can monitor on a form (using some common ActiveX controls such as ProgressBar). It all works fine, until I've got a request to make a "Pause" button to suspend that process. My first reaction was to create a "PAUSE" button and put "pause"-related code into Click event. It turns out that the system processed that event after the long process finishes.
>My question is - is it any common methods to pause long process invoked from the form?

There is nothing that will jump right in and say stop but you can program around this. You may be able to add some wait states by adding a DOEVENTS command throughout the process. This will let Windows process the queued up requests like your Pause button.

The Pause button could set a variable of property and the process could check that variable to see if it needs to stop.

Adding the DOEVENTS may significantly increase the length of the process. VFP now has to periodically stop and check to see if there are any events to process.

HTH.
