Don't forget that the garbage collection won't actually collect unless the system is looking for more memory to use. This is why you might see memory use grow to considerable amounts in older versions of the IDE. I believe in the newer versions (of the IDE), they (embarcadero) force collection a little more often.
There is also a way to force the IDE to tell the framework to take out the trash, although I can't remember what it is. It is a registry key that allows you to set a timer interval. _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
