abort

The abort method requests that the IDL process containing the underlying IDL object abort its current activity. This method is useful if a given IDL method call is busy for a very long time (e.g., a very long image processing command).

Note
The request is only that, a request, and IDL might take a long time before it actually stops or might completely finish its current activity. Such a wait is an effect of the IDL interpreter.

Note that the client can only call abort from a different thread than the one currently executing because the method executing is, by its nature, blocked. The caller cannot abort IDL activity that is occurring from an execution call in another wrapper object. The client can only abort the current IDL activity if that wrapper object is the current owner of the underlying IDL process. For more information on error return code relating to aborting, see Error Handling.
