ContentStopGetValue is called to tell a plugin that a directory change has occurred, and the plugin should stop loading a value.

 

 

void __stdcall ContentStopGetValue(char* FileName);

 

 

FileName The name of the file for which ContentGetValue is currently being called.

 

 

The function has no return value.

 

 

This function only needs to be implemented when handling very slow fields, e.g. the calculation of the total size of all files in a directory. It will be called only while a call to ContentGetValue is active in a background thread.

A plugin could handle this mechanism like this:

1. When ContentGetValue is called, set a variable GetAborted to false

2. When ContentStopGetValue is called, set GetAborted to true

3. Check GetAborted during the lengthy operation, and if it becomes true, return ft_fieldempty
