loop exiting problem PLEASE HELP

[Marko]

hello

i have a problem with loop exit operation

there is a for loop in my software i need to terminate by SpeedButton

my loop looks like this (for example)

for(int i=0; i<2500; i++)
{

if(continue==false) break; //exit from the loop on request

//other RS232 operations

}

im seting the "continue" variable to false state by clicking a SpeedButton

void __fastcall TForm1::SpeedButtonSTOPClick(TObject *Sender)
{
continue=false; //continue is a global variable
}


but.... while a loop is running i can't change the "continue" variable.
my software is busy ... the SpeedButtonSTOPClick function is called just
after that (but it's too late)


how to solve this problem?
