Start function when 'ctrl-c' are pressed

You'll have to install your own signal handling routines, e.g. by using



void    __cdecl     StopHdl         (   int nSig)
{
  // code goes here, will be executed when CTRL+C is pressed
}


    signal  (   SIGINT,     StopHdl);
    signal  (   SIGBREAK,   StopHdl);

Depends on compiler. For Borland it is

  void ctrlbrk(int (*handler)(void));

include <dos.h> for this function.

A sorry, misread the question. Please disregard my previous comment.

Can you please specify a bit more .... I dont get it to work!

Thanks!

Hmm, there's hardly more to elaborate ;-)

What problems are you facing?

Where should I put    
signal  (   SIGINT,     StopHdl);
signal  (   SIGBREAK,   StopHdl);  ??

And what can I assign nSig to? How does the program 'know' that 'ctrl-c' ??

My program starts a function and I want to be able to cansel it with 'ctrl-c'.

Thanks!

>>Where should I put

>>signal  (   SIGBREAK,   StopHdl);  ??

Put these statements into the startup code of your program (e.g. 'InitInstance()' if BC++ uses that or just in 'WinMain()')

You can safely ignore the 'nSig' argument...

The program 'knows' that it was CTRL+C as the handler is assigned to that...

My program does not respond to 'ctrl-c'. I have done exactly what you said. :-(

I there an other way to solve it on?
