DIAdem - Cancel/Abort Long Operations

[Sam_Sharp]

Some operations in DIAdem can take a long time to complete (case in point - while writing this I am waiting for it to draw a 29 million point waveform on a graph!). Any operation which could take more than a few seconds should have a 'cancel operation' button to abort the current operation.

What I'm thinking is that after 2 seconds of waiting, a 'stop' or 'abort' button should appear in the bottom-right status bar where the progress bar appears for certain operations.

At the moment, the only way I can find to end the operation is to terminate the process in Task Manager.

Hi Sam_Sharp,

did you ever try to press escape "ESC"? This should terminate the drawing directly.

Hi Stefan,

I tried that - it didn't have any effect?

Thank you for your request.

I tested the abort functionality (ESC) for loading and displaying data in DIAdem 2017 and 2018. It works fine.

Greetings
