And how often does that really happen? If you mean being able to query the RTL to see if Multii-threading is enabled, then simply being able to read a property or function that returns a boolean is perfectly compatible with a boolean global variable. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
