set the cantAbort of stack to {true | false}

# Examples

set the cantAbort of stack "Critical Functions" to true

# Description

Use the cantAbort property to prevent users from interrupting any of the handlers in a stack.

If a stack's cantAbort property is set to false, the user can halt a running handler in the stack by pressing Control-period or Control-break (on Windows or Unix) or Command-period (on Mac OS).

If the cantAbort is true, the user cannot interrupt a handler.

>*Warning:* Before setting a stack's cantAbort property to true, > make sure all handlers that may be affected have been > thoroughly tested. If cantAbort is set to true, you cannot interrupt > a runaway handler with the standard key combination.
