EASY QUESTION FOR POINTS

To do this I would make a little form showing a message (or whatever) with its form style set to fsStayOnTop.

Create and show the form before starting the process, and after the process has completed close and release it.

Perhaps you could post the code you have now with an indication where the error occurs?

Cheers,

Raymond.

Raymond,

Here is the code:

Function RunMyProcess : integer;            //TJ
 var           si  : TStartupInfo;
               pi  : TProcessInformation;
               dw1 : dword;
               MergeCmd: ANSIString;
               enabled: boolean;
        begin
        enabled:=false;
        MergeCmd:= 'C:\MSSQL7\MERGE\Merge.Exe';
        ZeroMemory(@si,sizeOf(si)); si.cb:=sizeOf(si);
        si.dwFlags:=STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW; si.wShowWindow:=SW_HIDE;
     if CreateProcess(nil,PChar(MergeCmd),nil,nil,false,0,nil,nil,si,pi)
          then begin
                   with TRunThread.Create(true) do        
                   try
                 processHandle:=pi.hProcess;          
                 processReady:=false;                
                 waitingThread:=GetCurrentThreadID;
            // Error happens here....  When I try to call the form  
                 Resume;                              
           repeat
                 Application.HandleMessage;  
           until Application.Terminated or processReady;  
                                                         
     finally Free end;
          GetExitCodeProcess(pi.hProcess,dw1);
          CloseHandle(pi.hThread);
          CloseHandle(pi.hProcess);  
          begin
          if (dw1) = 0 then
          ShowTimedMessage('Merge Successful!', 5)
          else
          if (dw1) = 1 then
          ShowTimedMessage('Merge Unsuccessful! Please retry....', 5);
      //   ShowTimedMessage('Test (exitCode='+IntToStr(dw1)+')', 5);
            end;
        end;
     end;


Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

Can you post the code that you use at thsi comment:

// Error happens here....  When I try to call the form  

At least I'll be able to see what is going wrong...

Cheers,

Raymond.

Raymond,
 
I simply call a from called frmUtil.
 
Code: frmUtil.show

I then close it later after the application has terminated.

code: frmUtil.close

I know this is where the error is, I am just not sure why?

Thanks

Thanks Raymond.
