Raheem,

many suggested correctly to use DoEvents, but no one mentioned that
using DoEvents 1) makes the application very slow and 2) it messes up
all your user events. To fix the first problem, call DoEvents every 10-20
times in your loop (you have to test for performances) and to fix the
second (this is my favorite approach) do NOT use DoEvents, but put
your code in a timer. In the timer function, just loop 10-20 times only
(as before, it depends on the application), and at the end of the loop
check for the Cancel button status-a global variable will do. If the
button was hit, do not restart the timer, otherwise restart it if there
are more loops to execute.
