Hi,
I am trying to create a new form as below.
The problem is when it gets to frmMain.Create(Application); the
following error occurs:
"Access violation at address 0046D929 in module 'Client.exe'. Read of
address 00000000."
What am I doing wrong? And is there a more elegant way of doing it? I
need the new form to be independent so that it exists even after the
original form is destroyed.
Thanks,
unit Login;

frmMain.Visible := true;

Destroy;
end;
procedure TfrmLogin.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Application.Terminate;
end;
end.

Which will NOT generate standalone apps (at least, not without help),
and runs on .NET.

The support is actually great considering some of the "team" members have
been doing this since the early 90's

I find tons of Articles and documents on the web.
What is great, is that stuff written for D2 still works (sometimes with a
minor tweak).
And if it is something new, i do go to the MDSN for API info, and thats easy
to translate.

You don't have to. Don't believe everything others tell you. Delphi
will generate standalone exes by default.

Don't worry. He is exaggerating. He's a bitter newsgroup poster :)
Look, Delphi has bugs, and it has quirks. It's like any other system, you
just need to know it. In general though it is great. Having used VC#
Express, there's no way I'd choose it over Delphi (it's not exactly bugfree
either, of course, no is it without its own perhaps more annoying quirks),
and I think the original poster probably wouldn't either... because here he
is on a Delphi newsgroup, so surely he must also be using it!
My only suggestion if you're using Delphi and using newgroups is, stay away
from .non-technical - it has a reputation for threads whinging and
complaining and sounding like the poster above, basically, and frankly it
all just gets a bit much after a while. The rest of the groups are more
focused with people who are more normal and helpful.
Good luck!
Cheers,
David

As a newcomer I have used both the free editions of Delphi 7 and 2006
and I prefer the new IDE. (Probably because I am used to the Visual
Studio IDE)
The old one seemed to lack any dropdown lists to show members of
classes, not much formatting etc. Unless I was missing a way to enable this?

Yes. Delphi has a blazing fast compiler, single .exe deployment, compiles to
native code, (used to have) a great IDE, a small dedicated peer support
system, and the source code for the code library is open source.
The cons of it are the huge amount of quirks and bugs, a terrible component
addon mechanism, lack of official support, very small peer support system,
few references or examples on the internet, sparse documentation, and
(today) a poor IDE.

Thanks for the hack.
That's too bad. The thing that has attracted me to Delphi is the fact it
generates stand alone exe files.
I don't want to have to distribute huge .net runtimes with my
application or expect my customers to have to hunt it down and install
themselves :(
