I'm the Profax library hacker. When we get a problem on a client site I'm
the guy who's lap its ends up on. After 10 years of this I have a small
modicum of experiance in why this stuff goes wrong.
So far we've had problems with bugs in the GDI, bugs in video drivers,
bugs in printer drivers, bugs in the Delphi VCL, bugs in Delphi code
generation, bug in common controls, bugs in third party components, bugs
in the COM distapching mechanism, bug in Windows networking code, and lots
and lots of our own bugs 8-)
What do you do when you are doing "pure application development" and some
thing you are relying on doesn't work? Ignore it or fix it? Its not "pure
application development" but it sure needs to be done.
This list exists for the members to share information about Delphi and
Delphi programming. We would all be a lot poorer if no one shared their
experiances of problems and solutions. Did you want me to just ignore your
post and leave many other list members uneducated about the issues
involved in using imahge lists?
So before you dump on me next time I, or in fact anyone else, explains
something on the list, think for a moment that there may be many others
out there that are gaining useful information from the discussion and its
not just for your benefit alone.
Cheers, Max.
