How can I stop/pause/continue the below dialog?
When "START REMOVE" is clicked each item from the listbox is automatically removed from top to bottom.
For that to happen subfunction "remove_item_and_process" is called.
I want to: stop and pause/continue.
"pause/continue" is toggle based, meaning press "pause/continue" it pauses, click button again and it continues.
I found on the forum a way to end (stop) a subfunction but I couldn't get it to work.
And I do not know how to approach the "pause/continue"
The only method I can think of is using global variables, what I mean is when "STOP" is pressed the global variable is set to a certian value.
I then use this in the subfunction to check for. I might also be able to use this for the "PAUSE/CONTINUE"(?)
The downside is, is that have to check for that value after every command.
I hope a better more efficient method exists?

your stop wasnt working because you were running a new sub func and ending that thread. Need to get handle when you start sub func.
here is working start stop pause resume

After looking at this again i came up with a better version removed one button, got rid of the setprop/getprop/removeprop as that way of pausing had some limits.. now the buttons are dynamic and disable and enable depending on what mode your in. So when thread is paused can only resume. when list removal is complete can only refill ect ect.. also got rid of uneeded thread variables when not needed.

Added one more safety feature so dialog cannot be closed while thread is running or paused. It is needed because qm doesn't know about paused threads and threads need to be resumed before dialog closes.
fixed in post#4 ListDialogRotate2b
