There's no way you can do that because you're not in control of anything outside your application (ie: the operation system). You CAN save the contents of your RAM but it would be worthless because it contains references to operating-system allocated structures (file pointers, window handles, what-not). Even if it didn't contain references to operating-system structures re-loading the same content in RAM would be almost impossible because you'd need to reload at the EXACT same location in memory: if you don't do that pointers become invalid.
You'll have to save the state of your application explicitly, using other means. -- Cosmin Prund > -----Mesaj original----- > De la: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] În > numele Chris Stebbing > Trimis: Friday, January 23, 2009 2:29 AM > Către: Delphi List > Subiect: Hibernating an application > > Hi All, > > is it possible (as in is there any software out there that would > allow me to do this) to hibernate an application? > > When a laptop goes into hibernate mode it saves a memory snapshost > and resumes with everything exactly where it was - I've done this > with media player running and the songs resume exactly where it left > off. > > I would like to take regular memory snapshots of my application and > in the case of a power failure be able to resume my application > exactly where it left off at the last snapshot.
