[Twisted-Python] Waitable Timers and Events

[X]

I have what I think is a unique issue and hoping someone might be able to offer a suggestion.

PROBLEM:  Can't get Do/Loop and Timer/Loop to Exit

I have a static counter in the PAINT event to set up a trigger to call a Do/Loop.
This is done to allow the screen to be painted to a certain point and then the loop is designed to finish painting the screen in slow motion.

Once the Do/Loop is entered it is controlled (slow motion) by calling the Timer/Loop routine which uses SetWaitableTimer and MsgWaitForMultipleObjects to control the speed of painting and allow the user interface to still be active.

Everything works well.

----- Heres were the problem is:

If the program is to exited prior to the loop finishing,  the user clicks File/Exit.
A global structure variable was included in the loop in an attempt to quickly exit both the Do/Loop and the Timer/Loop, but whatever reason is never seen by the Loops prior to the call to unload the MDI form.  The system locks or generates an error.

Any ideas how to resolve?

Thanks
David
