How to break a while loop similar to ctrl+C, but with code?

To be a bit more specific, I have a servo motor performing a predetermined number of reciprocating motions. Sometimes however, I need to be able to abort these motions, but I want to do it using a button in the gui for my application (Like an emergency stop).

So my gui has a start button that will call my Start function to begin the motions and enter the while loop, and I want to create an abort button to break the loop, and stop execution of the Start function as if i had pressed ctrl+C. Any ideas on how to do this?
