Syntax

Description

Normally, Omnis tests if the user wishes to cancel execution of the method, at the end of each loop and during lengthy operations such as searching or sorting a large list. The user requests a cancel by either clicking on a working message Cancel button, or by pressing Ctrl-Break under Windows, Ctrl-C under Linux, or Cmnd-period under macOS. Use this command to disable these tests, meaning that the cancel key combination and clicks on a working message cancel button will be ignored.

This command is reversed with Enable cancel test at loops, or if placed in a reversible block.
