Example user-defined command that changes the selected cells on the active worksheet around until the user presses ESC. When GENERIC.xll is loaded, it creates a user-defined menu, Generic, through which this command is accessed.
int WINAPI fDance(void);
Parameters
The function takes no parameters.
Property Value/Return Value
The function always returns 1.
Remarks
This is an example of a lengthy operation. It calls the function xlAbort occasionally. This yields the processor (helping with cooperative multitasking), and checks whether the user has pressed ESC to cancel the operation. If so, it offers the user a chance to cancel the abort.
Example
See \SAMPLES\GENERIC\GENERIC.C for the source code for this function.
