Yes we do change TApplication (and bring it back). We have discovered that not having an application.processmessages call before switching back always causes a crash. So our current fix is to do several processessmessages (in a loop). This seems to have reduced (removed ?) the problem.

hi! the easy drag/drop way: - get rxlib, drop the trayicon component onto the main form - set the icon etc if you want - setup a popupmenu with items for 'exit' etc. (exit.onclick should just need form.close) - edit project source(menu is project/view source'). before the form create stuff

We pass strings but also use ShareMem so I dont think that is the problem. I definately think it is related to the freeing of items but due to its infrequency I sustpect it is more a timing issue... form still freeing when dll is cloising? We are using modal forms with Action = caFree could

You already have source on your pc that puts an icon into the tray area. Look at the source for the socket server (it's in the source\vcl directory). Watch out using RXLib. Last time I used it, it added tremendous bloat to the application because everything is so closely coupled. That may
