    <p>I have a C# threading program (a game), that stops with a boolean (as most articles recommend).</p> <pre><code>while (gameContinueRun) { createRound(); line1; line2; line3; line4; endRound(); } </code></pre> <p>Some code lines lock the game and wait until other thread will release it:</p> <pre><code>lock (stateSync) { Monitor.Wait(stateSync) } </code></pre> <p>To stop the thread from another thread I set the boolean to false:</p> <pre><code>if (cancel) { gameContinueRun= false; } </code></pre> <p>Everything works nicely, but I still need to wait until the end of the current loop (round).</p> <p>I want to end the loop, to break all work in the middle (abort game). Another thing is to be able to restart the loop (open new round). Or in other words, two things:</p> <ol> <li><p>abort the game</p></li> <li><p>cancel the current round and start a new one</p></li> </ol> <p>I thought about it, and got a couple of ways:</p> <ol> <li><p>Unlock all locks, and check after every code line:</p> <pre><code>if (!cancelRound) { line1; } if (!cancelRound) { line2; } if (!cancelRound) { line3; } if (!cancelRound) { line4; } </code></pre> <p>Not very nice, and very exhausting if one have lots of code lines to cover...</p></li> <li><p>Use <code>Thread.Abort()</code>, catching the <code>Exception</code> and <code>resetAbort()</code> if needed.</p></li> <li><p>Use <code>goto</code> and labels (which I assume is even uglier then aborting).</p></li> </ol> <p>Which way is better? Or moreover, is there a better recommended way?</p>

    1. COWhat language are you using? Looks vaguely like C# (could be c++? Dunno if that has a lock(){} construct...) Might help people posting ideas/solutions and examples.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
