Hello.
I am building some test FireMonkey HD apps in Dephi/RAD Studio XE3 using ICS that I am hoping will eventually build cross platform to Mac. There are two apps, one is a server and the other a client, and they will exchange some large amounts of data. When they are running on the same system, which naturally happens during development and might also occur under certain scenarios on the user's system, large transfers really bog down the main thread in the client side app. This makes the client app VERY unresponsive in that scenario. So, I am thinking to move the client side TCP interfaces to a background thread so that it doesn't slow down the UI so badly. However, being that this thread is in a FireMonkey HD app, I am unsure how to proceed. Do all the threading message pump issues still apply? Knowing that cross platform does away with dependence on platform technologies like PostMessage (Windows only), what should I do regarding this? Are the Windows platform units still relevant with an app that will be built for cross platform? So, just wondering if I still need to provide something in that regard, as far as a message pump in thread and if so, how does that port to Mac later? Or, if I just create the component in the Execute method, do the events just magically fire in FireMonkey apps? Well, hope my question(s) makes sense? I searched the platform demos and didn't see anything that might demonstrate a cross platform approach for this. So, sorry if it is there and I just missed it somehow. J Thanks much.
