I'll leave somebody else to answer that, but on the polling front, either use a TTimer (with an interval of e.g. 500ms), or just get your app to Sleep(500), and you should be fine CPU-wise. This is assuming that your app is purely polling and sleeping until a file turns up, not updating a GUI or anything as well.
Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs... ;-) Cheers, Conor -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I wasn't aware polling would take so little CPU time, which is good. However, I'm still trying to understand what the disadvantages are of using a downloadable component based on FindCloseChangeNotification? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
