Cancelling an Asynchronous callback method

[John]

I will be setting up an asynchronous receive routine for a TCP Socket. If
the receive callback method is not called within some time interval, I want
to cancel the use of the callback method.

Does anyone know the way to cancel the use of a callback routine?

Hi,

As far as I know there is no API call to cancel an asynchronous call. I
have found this to be a frustrating limitation. You will have to implement
a custom round about solution.
