Interupting a program.

[blue_nirvana]

I have a program that processes for a long time. I would like to be able to push a button on the form that can stop the processing if I need it to. Currently the button's code is not executed until after the processing is done. How can I make it so that the button's code is executed while the other processing is going on. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's an example

Private StopMe As Boolean

Sub Form_Load()
StopMe = False
End Sub

Sub LongLoop()
Dim x&
x = 0

Do While x < 10000 and StopMe = False
    x = x + 1
    DoEvents 'Important!
Loop
End Sub

Sub Command1_Click()
StopMe = True
End Sub

Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
StopMe = True
End Sub
