Hello experts!
I already know how to handle exceptions with the try/except and try/finally instructions. The thing is that I try to have some maintenance done on a huge app which is buggy like hell.
I'd want to intercept EVERY SINGLE exceptions and then, depending on the type of this exception, close the app or just show an error message. On a simple program, I know that this would be easy. But the app I'm working on is too big for me to go and write try/except instructions on each 3 lines (there is more than 500 forms in that sh*t).
Is there any way I can intercept somekind of windows messages comming from the whole app and then react on its content ?
Example code would be appreciated.
Thanks!
PS: I use Delphi 4.

I tried the suggestion (no TApplicationEvents component in D4 so I had to implement the OnException event by hand) but, as you said, It doesn't handle already handled exceptions. The thing is that in the app I work on some are trapped and some aren't. I need to catch ALL of them in a single place.
Any hint ?
gas, this sounds like the perfect situation to use an exception tracker component. Look at "madExcept", it's free for non-commercial usage (only). Here are links to the online documentation, to a little demo and to the direct download:

Look at
OnException event (TApplication)
Occurs when an unhandled exception occurs in the application.
Note: You can also respond to this event using the TApplicationEvents component, which allows you to assign an event handler using the IDE.
