interrupting compile or build

Is there a way to interrupt an active build or compile of a workspace or project? I.E. maybe send a ctrl-break to the process that is doing the build or something? Thanks

Unfortunately there is no way to do this from wintin Zeus

All that I can suggest is using task manager to kill the compiler.

OK, thanks, I thought I was missing something obvious

This would work, but the problem with this type of "interrupt" is that unlike Ctrl-Break or Ctrl-C, this will simply pull the rug out from under the tool and not allow for appropriate cleanup etc. For example, when you use task manager to kill a process, any dlls loaded by the process are not terminated normally, threads are not terminate normally etc.

Can I add a request that the ability to interrupt the compile/build be added at a future point. Thanks for a great editor.
