Make IDE ignore Exception: Tools -> Debugger Options
On Language Exceptions tab Add the class name of whatever exceptions you want to ignore. Tick or untick them if they are allready listed. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Peacocke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14 2003 9:36 a.m. To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: Re: [DUG]: Handling exceptions The simple exception works as follows... procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var i: integer; begin try i := StrToInt(Edit1.text); except ShowMessage('Got Here!'); end; end; However, it will give an exception in the Delphi IDE debugger, but not in the application itself. In other words, only the "Got Here" message will be shown when running from an EXE. There is a way to switch off showing exceptions within the Delphi IDE but I can's remember where at the moment and have not the time to look right now. So it's possible that your code does actually work, but as you are running it in the Delphi IDE, all you are seeing is the debugger message.
