How about a timer that creates a new thread object from it's OnTimer event?
All you need to do is drop a standard timer on your form and create your
thread object from it's OnTimer event, something like this:
<code>
procedrue Form1.OnTimer(Sender:TObject);
var Thread:TMyThread;
begin
Thread := TMyThread.Create(True);
Thread.FreeOnTerminate := True;
Thread.Resume;
end;
</code>
Writing the code for TMyThread is not that hard:
<code>
type
TMyThread = class(TThread)
public
procedure Execute;override;
end;
procedure TMyThread.Execute;
begin
// Your code goes here!
end;
</code>
Please be aware I wrote all the code in those samples in my mail editor,
they might not compile, but you got the general idea.
