assignment of value by thread problem

[CrazyPlaya]

Hi @ all,

In a thread I´m receiving messages from socket.
If a specific message is income I´m setting a boolean to true.
In a method of my main process I have an endless loop which
has to end if the variable in thread is set to true.

The problem is it needs about 4 to 5 seconds from setting the value to true and
that the method will notice it.

What can I do that the method ends immediatly if the needed message is coming in?

Best regards
