I would like to write a messaging system using TCP IP in Delphi 2010. I would like to hear what my best options are for using the standard delphi 2010 components/indy components for doing this.<br />
<br />
I would like to write a server which does the listening and forwarding of messages to all machines on the network running a client.<br />
<br />
1.) a.) clients can send a message to server to be forwarded to all other clients b.) clients listen for messages from other senders (via server) and displays messages.<br />
<br />
2.) a.) Server can send a message to all clients b.) Server forwards any messages from clients to all other clients<br />
<br />
NOTE: I am not writing a instant messaging or chat program. This is merely a system where users can send alerts/messages to other users - they can not reply to each other!<br />
<br />
NO commercial, shareware, etc links - please!<br />
<br />
I would like to hear about how you would go about writing this type of system and what approachs you would take, and possibly the TCP IP messaging arcgitecture you would use. Whether it be staright Winows API, Indy components, etc, etc.<br />
<br />
thanks for any suggestions<br />

Suggestions on writing a TCP IP messaging system (Client/Server) using Delphi 2010

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.
