Hi, Has anyone tried providing ^C type interrupt handling under windows. One of the application which I am writing requires some method to abrubtly stop windows program environment. When I checked up with Microsoft about this, they said that since windows uses non-preemptive multi-tasking interrupts like ^C cannot be handled directly. They say that the Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) need to be written for doing this ^C handling. Anyone has idea about this? When DOS provides ^C's break interrupt handling thro' INT 23H why not windows support the same ^C concept. Has anyone overcome this problem and provided a solution for it. Please email to me at balaji@nsc.nsc.com. If there is enough interest I will summarise to the net. Thanks in advance. balaji@nsc.nsc.com --------- Balaji.P (National SemiConductors Corp.
