Passing command line to the app is easy. But unfortunately there is a problem
that the form is not created yet, so you cannot pass parameters to the component
settings (my parameter contains a bunch of settings).
The obvious easy solution would be to start a timer in the program which fires a
few ms after formcreate has finished, checking to see if paramstr(1) has a
relevant string, but that is too easy and a waste of a timer. Is there anything
else I can do which is more program-sense?
I prefer that the form is not visible at all. But the call would still have to
wait till all controls are enabled before progressing to the settings area.
Alistair,
like Peter I post a message. In fact the descendent form I use has this built in and generates an event FormCreated... which is very very handy. The Borland engineers indicated that they were doing this as standard for D5... but I cant see it anywhere :-)
