Maybe a way to look at it is this:
If you create an object you do have the responsibility to ensure it is
freed (I'm differentiating that from a responsibility to free it). You
can do this a number of ways including:
a) Free it yourself explicitly (e.g. in a finally block after you've
finished wit

I think TcomponentList is inherited from TObjectList so the list members
should be freed when the c
Is the following possible reasoning?
You've added DirMonitor1 to DirMonList.
You free DirMonitor1.
When you call DirMonList.Clear, internally maybe it tries to reference
and free DirMonitor. Have a look at the source maybe.
One solution might be to cycle through your DirMonList and free all

Indeed, but the original question was "where does Delphi expect to find
BPLs", not where does my-application-written-in-Delphi expect to find
BPLs. ;-)
I actually thought that was what you meant: application's home directory
= current directory from a Windows POV.

Well, the Delphi\Bin might well be an option, since it will meet your
first criteria if Delphi has its Start In directory set to Delphi\Bin
which IIRC it does by default... ;-)

Yeah,
I'd have to wonder why you're too worried about it too...
I'm
assuming that OptionIndex is a combobox/listbox or similar?
If so,
a quick look at the source would suggest that using the ItemIndex property could
be slower since it fires a Windows Message off within its implementation

Is it possible to invoke the StringList Editor from the component editor at runtime?

Also:
You might want to have a look at TControl.ScreenToClient and TControl.ClientToScreen
methods for translating positions (i.e. your mouse clicks) between different controls
- that way you will be able to get the same relative coordinates regardless of which
control your user is clicking on.
Two potential problems.
1) If your user passes in a command line parameter which isn't -low but also isn't
nothing, the length of the array won't get set.
2) Your for loop should probably run from 0 to Max -1. I think this is probably what

Your code is nearly correct.
However, you don't need the call to Application.HandleException - this is presumably
what is still showing you the unwanted error message.
You don't need the call because by writing a try..except block, you are handling the

Nothing personal! I just think it's one of those exceptionally simple but very

In the

to complicate things you can have both shallow and deep

A

Al,
You might like to have had a look at the Delphi help for StringReplace.
;-)
We were incorrect in the syntax of our initial suggestion (I'm not using
Delphi regularly at the mo).
If you check the help, the first parameter to StringReplace is a
constant parameter. Therefore yes, our initial s
The first one compiles because #20 is an escape sequence that the Delphi
compiler recognises.
However, that's not what you want.
You're wanting to replace one string with another string, not one string
with an escape sequence. The fact that it's an escape sequence is
irrelevant from the POV of y
It should be %20, not #20.
And could you not use StringReplace to do this for you? ;-)
