asked on

basic screen saver functionality - delphi 3

All I want is a small (no libraries) screen saver which will only run a windows application (e.g. calculator.exe) and kill it when the screen saver de-activates(ie mouse move etc.) Setup screen is to have one form with only static text. I have been trying... :-( Please help!

Vitornet is correct in the code he gave you, but I'm not sure I understand, how does executing a application act as a screen saver, unless you are moving the app around the screen...

Well, I'm not sure also :)

Just gave the code s/he wanted to have :)

Hello !

Hm , sorry dudes , maybe i didn't understand , but screen saver isn't just oncreate and
onmove based application , there tons of different things in handling (preview, setings, etc).

yyilmaz: check those links, if you need to code screen saver.

He mailed me and he doesn't need a screen saver... He needs an application that executes and closes a screen saver...
Oh, IC.
