Re: [twsocket] Freeze when using smtp after recreating its parent form
Hi Marcelo! Ok, I didn't realize that that was what it was. Thanks for the clarification! I tried it in the example application but I still get the same freeze when trying to connect after the second time the form is created... Any other ideas? To rephrase a solution to the problem: If I use the standard example applications or if I put the smtp component on the main form of my own application, everything works fine on all computers since the main form is not released until the application is closed. It is when the form containing the smtp-component is created and freed when I want to send an email that I get the freezing problem the second time it is done. So why not just put it on the main form? Well I want to have the capability to send e-mails from many applications so it is convenient to have a separate e-mail unit with an Execute-function that I can call from my applications. Execute takes care of everything from creating the form that contains the smtp component and shows the sending status to initiating the properties of the smtp component with the parameters passed to Execute. It tries to send the email and returns true if the email was sent. Once again: All suggestions are appreciated. Thank You in advance!

Example: procedure MyForm.ButtonSendMailClick(Sender : TObject); var MySendMailForm : TMySendMailForm; -- Procedure Variable, for its only accessible inside this procedure (ButtonSendMailClick)... begin MySendMailForm := TMySendMailForm.Create(params..); etc... . end; Regards, Marcelo Grossi My final remark was that I normally have the form as a procedure variable as it is not needed to be defined outside the buttonclick event and maybe that also solves your issue. I don't know if I understand You correctly...

Re: [twsocket] Freeze when using smtp after recreating its parent form
Hello Henrik, Do you have the same problem in the IDE ? Because this way you can check witch code line never comes back (freeze). If not eventually open a console window and write some debug information into it to see where it happens. Your approach is normal. I do this all the time, however I almost never use forms for it. Normally I have an object containing the component, eg TSmtpClient, another object that creates / handles / destroy the TSmtpClient objects. But in principle it is the same. It can as whell be a DataModule, a Form or whatever other object. Question: We do understeand the word 'Freeze' the right way ? Form cannot moved, closed, application cannot quit, etc... Right ? --- Rgds, Wilfried [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html http://www.mestdagh.biz -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
[twsocket] Freeze when using smtp after recreating its parent form
Hi! I have probably misunderstood something because I get the same behavior described below no matter which of the components SmtpCli, SyncSmtpCli and HtmlSmtpCli I use. The problem has to do with freeing the smtp-components parent form. You can easily duplicate the behavior with one of the standard demo applications: * Open Your favorite demo of MailSnd, MimeTst or MailHtml. (I proceed with MailSnd-demo below.) * Add a new form with a button to the project. Write the following in the buttons OnClick method: procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin SmtpTestForm := TSmtpTestForm.Create(Application); try SmtpTestForm.ShowModal; finally SmtpTestForm.Release; end; end; * Click on the menu: Project - Options, and remove the SmtpTestFrom from the Auto-createForms list. * Run the application and click the button. SmtpTestForm opens and You can send lots of e-mails. * Close SmtpTestForm and press the button again. Try to send yet another email and You get stuck! I guess I'm doing something fundamentally wrong?! I have narrowed it down to that everything works as expected if I don't release the form. (I get the same error when setting Action to caFree in SmtpTestFrom.OnClose.) Is it not a good idea to free a manually created form?

I normally just call .free never used .released. I also make the SmtpTestForm a procedure based variable in these kind of constructions. -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
