Your problem likely will be moving the X axis without defining a distance.
If you commanded a distance and feedrate via the VB you could set the input up as a feedhold and that would stop the motion, then call a stop then do your Y move
Might actually be easier doing things from a Brain and just having it start by looking at a LED, whether that is the Cycle Start LED or any other. Should be able to have a jog via a Brain and have it halted by an input etc
