Two options spring to mind; 1. Simple. if pos('/'+Extension+'/','/wav/mp3/ogg/')0 then 2. Complex uses typinfo; const ENUM_NOTFOUND :integer = 1; type eTAudioTypes : (wav,mp3,ogg); if getEnumValue(typeinfo(etAudioType),extension) = ENUM_NOTFOUND then // getenumvalue returns -1 on

Of course another way that hasn't occured to me till now, is to have a little library routine called hasPosition, say. const STRING_NOT_FOUND :integer = -1; AUDIO_EXTENSIONS :array[1..3] of string = ('wav','ogg','midi'); function hasPosition(const s:string; all :array of string):integer;

As long as you are posting the message to a window of the existing process, I don't see why you cant just convert it to a pchar. If it is across processes and the string is more than 32bits, use a more orthodox RPC mechanism. Guessing rom the variable names, if you are trying to sync the

As far as I am concerned MDI is dead. I much prefer a single frame Explorer style of application with occasional pop-out dialogs and forward-back buttons a la Internet. Most users have non trouble and those that do pop out too many dialogs soon can be trained to use the drop down menu to control

I was under the impression that if a DLL did not expose an activeX interface, then it didn't expose the parameters required for its enty points. If it does support an ActiveX interface, you can do a Menu/Componenets/Import ActiveX. If you have a non-activeX DLL and a Cheader file there

The problem is a security one. Maybe you should question what you are trying to do. IIS and any web server goes to great lengths to protect your file system from internet access. So if you are logging into IIS with a guest Login, by default you have no access to the server's file system.
