Long time ago I write a set of classes that implements an event-action
mechanism (like event-listeners in Java) for IDL. It is published
here: http://www.ittvis.com/codebank/search.asp?FID=334 and is
currently working in some projects successfully.

When you click with the mouse you can emit a "clickEvent" that can
call a method that changes a property. Later on every for loop you can
check for that property and stop processing if it is changed.
