Is there a way to abort a hanging or long-running XLL function?
Either after a pre-defined time has elapsed (say 10,000ms) or after the impatient Excel user hits the <ESC> key in his Excel frontend?

The C API offers xlAbort (Microsoft classifies it as not thread-safe, though). Does ADX offer a similar handle for vb2005/2008 developers to pull the brake on a long-running XLL calculation?

thx

Hello Heiko,

Sure. Add-in Express doesn't limit programmers.

You can use the CallWorksheetFunction function of the Module static property with the AddinExpress.MSO.ADXExcelWorkseetFunction.Abort parameter.
