I'm trying to capture a button click to cancel an operation, but the listener never fires. This isn't surprising - in other languages you have to manually check for windows messages from within your loop (e.g. Application.ProcessMessages in Delphi), but I can't find an analog in Java. I tried creating another thread, but you have to loop to stay in run() and the event doesn't fire while you're in run(). How do you do this in java? I need to get the multi-thread approach working regardless because I'm also making JDBC calls and I need to let the user cancel the query, which requires another thread. It would also be nice to know if there's a way to check for events within a single thread. Thanks
