Checking for Escape key

Subject:Checking for Escape key

Hi,
I have a routine that takes a long time (up to 40 seconds). I want to cancel
the routine if the user presses the Escape key, but not have a dialog on
screen with a cancel button. Is there a way that I can check for Escape key
down without processing all the other messages in the queue? Or some other
solution to check for Escape Key down?
