Cancel Button.

Dan, thanks for providing the "Cancel Button".

Enhancement Request

However, rather than calling a specific Macro that is unique to the Parent Macro that called the Progress Bar, I would like to have an option to "Force Quit" the Panent Macro.

This can be done using the Cancel a Specific Macro Action.

The use case for this is a runaway script in the Parent Macro, or even a KM Action block that contains some Action that is hung up, not responding.

Here's an example:

How To Stop a Specific Instance of a Running Macro

You can stop a specific instance of an executing macro with the Cancel a Specific Macro action. Example 1: Macro Doit, Trigger Shift-A Actions: Set variable DND_Macro Doit to text “%ExecutingInstance%” Do stuff Macro Cancel Doit, Trigger Shift-V Cancel a Specific Macro “%Variable%DND_Macro Doit%” Example 2: Macro Doit, Trigger Shift-A If variable DND_Macro Doit is not empty Cancel a Specific Macro “%Variable%DND_Macro Doit%” Set variable DND_Macro Doit to text “” else Do stuff S…

I would like to have one macro that is always called by all Progress Bars when the Cancel button is pressed.
To make this work, I need to pass the following parameters to this general Cancel Progress Bar:

1. Name of the Parent Macro that called the Progress Bar
2. `%ExecutingInstance% of the Parent Macro, which could be assigned to a Progress Bar JSON field.
3. Name of Global Variable to set to flag cancellation.
   • This would all us to create a unique variable for each Parent Macro.
   • Even better would be to use an Instance Variable, but I'm not sure that is possible given the process flow of Parent Macro > Progress Bar HTML Prompt > Cancel Progress Bar macro
   • @peternlewis, could this be done with Instance variable?

Thanks again Dan.
