TThreadComponent
Imagine that your application needs to perform a time-consuming operation (such as an automation server call, saving data to a disk file, exporting data to database server, etc). While your application is busy, user relaxes in the armchair and stupidly looks at display. Is there anyone who likes it? Moreover, Windows do not even redraw an application's form. You already know how to perform operation simultaneously with threads (if not - see previous articles). Now let's look to a TThreadComponent - a native VCL component that allows quick and easy threading. The code is written by me and it was tested in several applications. It is free for Suite101 members!
