Stop Responding in WinForms AI AssistView

The SfAIAssistView control includes a Stop Responding feature that allows users to cancel an ongoing AI response by clicking the Stop Responding button. This feature ensures that users can interrupt the response if it is no longer needed.

EnableStopResponding

By default, the Stop Responding button is not displayed. To enable it, set the EnableStopResponding property to true.

{% tabs %}

{% highlight c# %}

SfAIAssistView sfAIAssistView = = new SfAIAssistView();
sfaiAssistView1.EnableStopResponding = true;

{% endhighlight %}

{% endtabs %}

The button displays when EnableStopResponding is true.

Stop Responding Event

The SfAIAssistView control provides the StopRespondingButtonClicked event. This is triggered when the Stop Responding button is clicked. You can handle this action to stop an ongoing AI response by subscribing to the StopRespondingButtonClicked event:

{% tabs %}

{% highlight c# %}

sfaiAssistView1.StopRespondingButtonClicked += SfaiAssistView1_StopResponding;

private void SfaiAssistView1_StopResponding(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Handle the Stop Responding action
    CancelAIRequest();
}

private System.Threading.CancellationTokenSource cts;
public void CancelAIRequest()
{
    if (cts != null && !cts.IsCancellationRequested)
        cts.Cancel();
}

{% endhighlight %}

{% endtabs %}

Customization

The button text and hold duration in SfAIAssistView can be customized using the StopRespondingButtonText, StopRespondingButtonCancelingText, and StopRespondingHoldSeconds properties. This allows you to set the button text, canceling text, and hold time for the Stop Responding button.

{% tabs %}

{% highlight c# %}

// Set button text
sfaiAssistView1.StopRespondingButtonText = "⏹ Stop";

// Set canceling text (shown while canceling)
sfaiAssistView1.StopRespondingButtonCancelingText = "Stopping...";

// Set hold time (seconds button stays disabled after click)
sfaiAssistView1.StopRespondingHoldSeconds = 2;

{% endhighlight %}

{% endtabs %}
