Does anyone know how to tell VB to check for pending events in the middle 
of a subroutine.

For example, the user clicks a button which causes some calculations to 
be done, and then some complicated graphics to be drawn (that might take
as much as 5 minutes).  Now, in the graphics routine I want to be able to
check for other mouse clicks - if one occurs then I want the graphics
routine to immediately abort, and control to be transferred to the handling 
of the second click..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
