Hi,

I have an app with a main TForm A sometimes calling a modal TForm B or
a simple MessageBox. On the same TForm A I have a timer. I would
like this timer to check if the app is waiting for a modalResult of
either TForm B / MessageBox.

Something like :

procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
// Of course, modalWindowActive doesn't exists, but you get the
idea...
if TApplication.modalWindowActive then Edit1.Text := 'App is busy
waiting for user...'
else Edit1.Text := 'App is not
busy...';
end;

Anyone?

I have written this simple code to retrieve some attribute values. The
attributes are all located in the beginning of each xml file. However,
it takes VERY long time before the first attribute value is found
(depending on the file size).

Is there a way to speed up the the reading of the xml file - is it
possible to stop the reading execution before the whole file is read?

The progress bar calculation don't seem to work properly. to How can I
make the progress bar show the remaining reading execution?

Regards

Frank Krogh

I use a stringList to maintain values that I show in a page of a controlPage
when the specific tab is chosen. In order to avoid the re-creation of the
stringList each time the page is accessed I thought I would test if the
Stringlist was nil or empty, but I could'nt find the way. Can anyone suggest
how to do this ? Or perhaps a different way of doing this thing ? Thanks in
advance

I execute my application from the Delphi 6 IDE (I am developping it) and I
found that if I close it as soon as I open it, i get a stack overflow.
I wrote an "exit" at the beginning of the main form OnShow routine so that
nothing is happening, but the problem persists.
How do I investigate a stack overflow problem ? What is it that is possibly
causing such an error ?

I'm trying to access the Embarcadero Delphi newsgroups. I have them
reading fine, but when I try to post it says "authorization required".
What do I need to set so that I can post?

Anyone who's ever written a shell extension will probably know, but I
cannot find a definitive answer.

A shell namespace extension is compiled into a DLL. Do multiple processes
(e.g. multiple Explorer windows) load separate instances of the DLL, or do
they all use a single instance?

Explanation: I want to use sqlite database for data storage, but sqlite
does not support concurrent or multithreaded access. Hence, if the shell
loads multiple copies of my dll, I'd have to use a different, more complex
db (and I don't want to go there, it's just an idea for a hobby project :)

Kind thanks for any sugestions!
