In a single threaded mode, just put ProcessSystemEvents() in your temp. read
loop, that way, your UIR events will be processed. On GUI have a button
which when clicked turns on a flag. Now in temp. loop keep monitoring for
this flag and exit when flag is on. It's that simple.
A better approach would be to use multi threading, where you have a worker
thread read data. Use ThreadSafeQueue to transfer data from reader thread to
main thread. MOre difficult than the first approach.
