Re: [Help-glpk] interrupt glpk using JNI

[faheem hussain]

Thanks for your quick response but unfortunately this solution doesn't apply in this case. I want to let the user decide whether he wants to interrupt/cancel the solution process or not, and when. To be precise in the GUI I want to provide the cancel button once the solution is in progress. The time limit can be set only before the solution process begins. Once the solver starts solving the process, settting this parameter doesn't help(I actually tried it). Any other suggestions?
