Thread EDBMgr should have Cancel button when opening a slow view

I noticed if I have an incorrectly defined view that takes forever to open (maybe I'm accidentally doing a cross product), and I click on the "Open View" link in the tasks pane, there is no cancel button on the toolbar. I either have to wait until the view opens (which could be minutes) or terminate EDBMgr.

It would be nice if there was a Cancel button on the toolbar when "Open View" is executed, like there is when running queries.

Unfortunately, views use the TEDBTable component, and there's really no way
(currently) of intercepting the open operation through a table.  It just
lacks the correct bindings to be able to get progress events that would
allow for this.

I will put this on the list, though, to see if I can come up with something
that works.

Thanks,

Don't spend a lot of time on it if there isn't a simple solution. I don't often create a malformed view. I thought if there was a quick fix, why not implement it.
