Hi,
I have at last got my application working using http component
and it works fine on my computer. However, I have discovered an
odd qhirk in its operation on other computers.
When I run the application, it brings up a form on which there are
TLabels onto which I put messages to say what is happening.
The application then downloads a file from my website. However,
what happens on other computers is that the form appears and
remains blank until I move the mouse pointer over it. Then it
springs into life.
Any idea what I have done wrong?
This is the relevant code:-
char acFile[256];
char acPath[256];
char acDest[256];
char acVersion[64];
char acIniFile[256];
GetPrivateProfileString("PATHS","DATA","s:\\mtdata",acPath,sizeof(acPath),".\\paths.ini");
Application->HandleMessage();
ListBox1->Clear();
sprintf(acIniFile,"%smtrader.ini",acPath);
GetPrivateProfileString("VERSION","NUMBER","000001",acVersion,sizeof(acVersion),acIniFile);
int iOldVersion = atoi(acVersion);
strcpy(acFile,"version.ini");
sprintf(acDest,"%s%s",acPath,acFile);
remove(acDest);
char acCaption[128];
sprintf(acCaption,"Downloading %s",acFile);
Label1->Caption = acCaption;
TFileStream *SL = new TFileStream(acDest,fmCreate);
try
{
try
{
IdHTTP1->Get("http://www.selectdata.co.uk/FML/version.ini",SL);
}
__finally
{
delete SL;
ListBox1->Items->Add("Checking Latest Version");
}
}
catch(const Exception &)
{
DeleteFile(acDest);
}
David
