Do you have any more details about this? Because i experienced that my app 
does actually *not* receive the CTRL-Cs or similar i am pressing when i try 
to cancel it "by hand"... (btw, this is win98)
If this would work, i would be happy, i really dont need more than an 
exception i could catch ;-) 

I already spent some time reading the documentation of Marc Hammonds win32, 
but it seems to me that it is clearly aimed at experienced windows 
programmers.

sigh, and i thougt i could do it really OS-independent :-(

thanks, Mike
