Embodiments are provided that include the use of a cancellable command application programming interface (API) framework that provides cooperative multitasking for synchronous and asynchronous operations based in part on a command timing sequence and a cancellable command API definition. A method of an embodiment enables a user or programmer to use a cancellable command API definition as part of implementing a responsive application interface using a command timing sequence to control execution of active tasks. A cancellable command API framework of an embodiment includes a command block including a command function, a task engine to monitor the command function, and a timer component to control execution of asynchronous and synchronous tasks based in part on first and second control timing intervals associated with a command timing sequence. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
A method comprising:
An article of manufacture that includes programming operable to provide cooperative multitasking for synchronous and asynchronous operations based in part on a command timing sequence and a cancellable command API definition, wherein the cancellable command API definition includes a command block and a state block and the command timing sequence includes a first timing interval and a second timing interval.
