getting out of a loop

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

hi all,

what is the command to put in a loop that allows me to get out of the loop.
I have a loop that goes through about 120,000 records and I want to be able
to hit the Exit button and get out of the loop. I can't seem to remember
the command that allows VFP to monitor events.

Thanks

Hutch

Fred,

I was thinking of the Autoyeild
but your answer took me there.

Thank you,

Hutch

Here's some *untested* code to give you an idea:

* sample loop
SCAN
DO yourthings
DOEVENTS
IF thisform.l_continueloop = .T.
EXIT
ENDIF
ENDSCAN

* exit_button.Click()
thisform.l_continueloop = .F.
