Hi,

Simple question, don't know if the answer is too: is there a possibility to abort a running query/execution?
f.e. I have this button on my form which gets all computer information of a remote computer, it will show a message when not reachable but some machines are so slow that an abort should be possible in case it takes to long?

Please advise.
Steven

It really depends on what you are calling and how it is called, but I would recommend using a Job to run the query if you don't already. This way you try using the Stop-Job cmdlet to try to end the query.

For more information on how to use the Job Tracker Control Set in PowerShell Studio, please refer to the following article:

If you are using WMI then you might do better using CIm CmdLets as they have a timeout.

For most issues, as suggested by David, the Job Tracker is the easiest way to handle this.

see control sets in the left pane toolbox second button. It's a square with dots around it.

Here's a combination of the jobtracker and processtracker.

Thanks, didn't use the job (yet), will try to implement that.
However, wanted to add a ' quicwkin' =

$MainForm.Cursor = 'WaitCursor' before and a $MainForm.Cursor = ''Default' after but it doesn't do anything.
Please advise on that.
