Terminating ADODB.Connection
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to terminate a ADODB.Connection early.
I have a piece of code that connects to a server.
I want to have a Cancel button to abort the connection attempt (in case the user changes his/her mind or provided a bad IP)
Note: ConnectToServer is already in a Thread to avoid cn.open from freezing the form.
VB Code:
Private Function ConnectToServer() As Boolean
Try
Dim cn as New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open(connectionString)
Return True
Catch
' catch nothing
End Try
Return False
End Function
Thanks!
*edit: I know I could set the ConnectionTimeout, but I want to have the connection attempt stopped once the user to be able to clicks the Cancel button

Re: Terminating ADODB.Connection
You can use the .Cancel method to cancel your .Open action but only for an asynchronous method call invoked with the adAsyncConnect, adAsyncExecute, or adAsyncFetch option.
