I am writing a serial interface program and use the loop to poll the data from buffer. In the loop there is a Doevents to return the control to the OS. If during the Doevents period the user press stop button, can I get out of the loop that I was running and do something else?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
