IIRC, the TApplication instance needs to take care of the message queue that schedules events for TTimer the Delphi "procedure ... message" construct etc.
With GUI application the message queue is managed by means of the appropriate GUI Framework, such as the Windows or GTK API- MSE provides creating a "nogui" application that handles the message queue without complex external stuff but in Linux uses "sem_wait()" to wait in case of an empty message queue and signals for posing events. (I don't know how they do this in Windows). I feel that this would be a very appropriate extension to the native FPC RTL, so that IDE frameworks can standardize on this. -Michael _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
