VB.Net + Fortran? ROTFL

You need to ask in a newsgroup with "dotnet" in the name. This group is for
VB 6.0 and earlier and does not include VB.Net or VB 200x.

Boy... Off topic squared ... first comes the blurb...

This and all other groups on the MS server that start with
"microsoft.public.vb"
are for VB Classic (mostly VB5/6) and were in existance long before any .Net
products were released. While some of the code looks the same, they are very
different products and require a different set of groups.

Secondly, that Fortran DLL will need to specifically support the
functionality you require.... and I seriously doubt it does. Especially if
it's a "number crunching" dll. Doing calculations while checking for and
processing keystrokes takes considerably more time than just doing the
calculations. The author of that DLL probably optimized the code for
speed... which means... no keyboard/key processing support.

The dll needs to raise some sort of event or callback. If the dll does not
support this then there is nothing you can do. If you have the source code
for the dll then you can add something that will raise a callback and check
for cancelling in that callback.
