Could anyone explain to me how I can create threads in Delphi? I've looked at some tutorials but I still don't understand it. I want to make a program that sends messages to a Memobox, but doesn't lock up while doing that.

Thanks.

Look at this code:

you could of course do the windows api method:
define a function like:

function mythread(parmeter: pointer); stdcall;
begin
//your threadcode
end;

...
...
var tid: dword;
begin
createthread(nil,0, @mythread, nil, 0, tid);
..
..


OR use a object oriented method using the TThread class (my prefered method)
type tmythread=class(tthread)
public
procedure execute; override;
end;

procedure tmythread.execute;
begin
//do your thread stuff here

end;

...
tmythread.create(false);

Using the TThread class is the easiest way because you can control your thread very easily without using Win32 APIs.

Okey, but how do I run the Thread? When I do "TMyThread.Create(False);" it gives me an error. "TMyThread.Resume;" also gives me an error.

TMyThread.execute;

[rapion124]

Post your source. TMyThread.Create(False) should work. If your thread is in another source file, you should add that source file to the implementation uses list of your main program.

What does the error say? Is it a compiler error or runtime error?

Oh nvm. It already works.
Thanks
