Hi to everybody!


A friend are working in redesigning all PascalSCADA packages, with the
main target to remove all graphical dependencies, to make it usable on
console applications and service applications.
To stay compatible with the existing stuff you need to create a new dedicated value for the "LCLWidgetType" macro that is selectable in the Project Options (using then new "Additions and Overrides" menu.

I once tried to do that (and failed, because the infrastructure is not done appropriately). Right now

- the LCL provides the normal event queue that is necessary for the normal Object pascal "event driven programming" paradigm - this is not done in a centralized way, but each "LCLWidgetType" has it's own code to implement this - on top of this, there is another event queue done in the RTL that needs to be synchronized with the GUI event queue

The things that need to get working in a decent non-GUI LCLWidgetType include:
 - TTimer
 - TThread.Synchronize
 - TThread.Queue
 - Application.QueuAsyncCall
 - Postmessage  ->  Procedure .... message

I have a testing program that checks if those decently work.
