Hello Richard, I'd be interested in your example code. I'm sure that'll same time for many people because sooner or later Windows developers will run into this situation of having a service and an application to communicate with each other.
I'm not sure if there's enough interest on the list, I'm also interested in further discussing this topic. The ideas discussed here can be the basis of a general purpose framework. For example, in order to minimize the memory footprint, maybe it's a good idea to use a no form tray icon application with a hidden window created with Windows API so that it will take the least memory by not loading the form units of Delphi, and have a separate GUI application for user settings, log display, etc. Splitting the user app into a GUI app and a tray icon app will introduce the issue of communication between tray icon app and GUI app and what's the best solution for that..etc. etc. -- Best regards, Jack > And it can be accessed across a network if necessary. We don't use that, > but we've tested it out to make sure it's possible. If there's enough folks > curious, I'd be glad to provide a simple example for illustrative purposes. __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
