Hi Hilfy, Thanks for your update. I need some further help with this. I'm trying to create a Timer object in a Thread. Here's part of the code: type ttimernew = class(TTimer) private public constructor Create (AOwner:TComponent); override; procedure newevent (Sender:TObject)...

Hi, I found that the windows media player activex control does the trick. Thanks

Hi Nordlund, Thanks for your feedback. I guess this allows you to access variables that exist in the mainform, from the new thread. How would you access the variables in the thread from the main application though? Thanks

I am using Delphi 7 and would like to know if it is possible to read variables that exist in the Thread that is instantiated, from the main code. If so, how should I declare these variables in the threaded code. N.B my main code is in unit1.pas, and the thread code in unit2.pas for example. Thanks.

I have created a thread to execute in my application but I'm not sure where you would Declare the OnTerminate event handler. Any ideas? N.B my thread code is contained in unit2.pas and my main code is in unit1.pas for example.
