Eclipse progress view

I develop an eclipse plugin and I added an eclipse progress view to it. There is an stop button on the progress view and I want to create some kind of listener to handle the events of the cancel button, but I don't know how I can do it. I know the monitor has an isCanceled() method, but I have to create come kind of listener to listen when user clicks the stop button, while the plugin works. Please give me some advice. Thanks

What you have to do here is check the isCanceled method often while you are on your long-running code. If isCanceled returns true, you return from your code properly.

The progress view normally monitors Job objects; you extend org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.Job and implement run() to define a Job. That class has a canceling() method; you can override canceling() and set a flag to true. Then in your run() method, you just loop until that flag becomes true (or the work is done), at which point you cleanup and return.
