I'm trying to get my head around the differences between this and how I use ThreadClass in Indy 9. For example, with the ThreadClass, I would create the thread suspended (override constructor), set any properties in the IDTCPServer's OnConnect event and resume the thread when I'm ready. I'm not sure this still applies. Any help is appreciated.

Gambit Sorry for the delay getting back to you. The values I want to set in the thread come from an external source. In this case, the form. I don't want the thread to know about (for example) a check box on the form, and I don't know of a way to call an overloaded constructor for my TIdPeerThread to pass in the arguments. I also want to set these values before OnExecute is run. The only way I could think to do this was create the thread in a suspended state set the thread's properties in the OnConnect event and then call Resume. 1) How would you do the same thing? If you do, then I think I can use the ContextClass exactly the same way I used ThreadClass. -- Regards, Bruce McGee Glooscap Software Back to top Bruce McGee Guest Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2004 6:16 pm    Post subject: Re: Indy 10 ContextClass example At first glance, you might think that OnBeforeConnect would be the ideal place, but this event never seems to fire. -- Regards, Bruce McGee Glooscap Software Back to top Chad Z.

The two arent connected. If you have a custom context, make sure you are calling all the inherited items. OnBeforeConnect should be firing, if not its a bug. -- Chad Z. Hower (a.k.a.

Setting the thread initially suspended as no effect, as TIdTCPServer always resumes threads automatically when a new connection is accepted. As soon as you enter the OnConnect event, the thread is already running, thus there is no need to resume it.

If you have a custom context, make sure you are calling all the inherited items. OnBeforeConnect should be firing, if not its a bug. I usually call inherited, but I'll be sure to make a point of it. How do you mean they aren't connected? If I wanted to do something with the Context before OnExecute fires, where would the best place be? In a quick test, OnBeforeConnect doesn't appear to fire, so there might be a bug, but I'd be happy to be wrong. Here's what I did: - New project - Drop a TIdTCPServer on the form - Put some code in OnExecute. I just listen for a character and echo it back. - Put some code in OnBeforeConnect to see if it fires. I used CodeSite. OnExecute fires fine, but OnBeforeConnect doesn't. Just to be safe, I also made sure to grab the latest snapshot this morning. Another small thing. Adding the IdTCPServer to the from doesn't add IdContext to the Uses clause, and I have to add it manually. -- Regards, Bruce McGee Glooscap Software Back to top Bruce McGee Guest Posted: Fri Apr 30, 2004 2:14 pm    Post subject: Re: Indy 10 ContextClass example Remy Lebeau (TeamB) wrote: Quote: Setting the thread initially suspended as no effect, as TIdTCPServer always resumes threads automatically when a new connection is accepted.

I'll rethink this a little. -- Regards, Bruce McGee Glooscap Software Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi Internet Winsock All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
