    <p>I created a simple window with two buttons, the first one calls a function that lasts a long time, the second one sets the value of a variable "stop" to TRUE, that was initially set to FALSE.</p> <p>My intention is that, by pressing the first button it runs a long process, that controls if the stop variable is set to TRUE or FALSE for every loop, if the value is TRUE the function should return, so the process is stopped.</p> <pre><code>... static BOOL stop = FALSE; // My variable defined somewhere ... int longProcess () // My function { while(stop == FALSE) { // do something } return 0; } ... switch (msg) { case WM_CREATE: { ... Button1 = CreateWindowEx(0, TEXT("BUTTON"), TEXT("Start"), WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON, 100, 100, 100, 20, hWnd, (HMENU)BUTTON_START, NULL, NULL); Button2 = CreateWindowEx(0, TEXT("BUTTON"), TEXT("Stop"), WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON, 200, 200, 100, 20, hWnd, (HMENU)BUTTON_STOP, NULL, NULL); ... } break; case WM_COMMAND: { switch (LOWORD(wParam)) { case BUTTON_START: longProcess(); // Starts the process break; case BUTTON_STOP: stop = TRUE; // Should stop the process break; } } break; ... } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>The problem is that when I press the first button the process starts normally, but when I press the second button in order to stop the process nothing happens, I noticed that the stop variable is set to TRUE only after the end of the process. I thought that probably in a problem related to the message queue...</p> <p>What could be the best solution??? It is correct to call longProcess() there and in that way? (I'am a newbie :) )</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

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.
