Some spammers have altered a fifties messages in the forums.
They have used accounts whose password was the same as the identifier.
I disabled these accounts and deleted the spam, but I lost 50 threads.
I will not reactivate these accounts.

Chrome Frame is an ActiveX control to use Google Chrome in IE.
Unfortunately, this component can not be imported into Delphi as most of the other ActiveX controls.
So I created a component to use Chrome Frame in your application.

First you need Google Chrome Frame.
And this this is the source code.

By default GCF can only load HTTP and HTTPS URI, it is a bit annoying …
but if you enable the “privileged” property it is possible to use the data URI scheme, install extensions and use named profiles.

The Chrome Frame exposes an object named “externalHost” which lets you exchange text messages with your application.
Using JSON and SuperObject it is possible to exchange complex objects with GCF.

I hope this will help to enhance your applications.

I had a funny idea this weekend, I was looking for a way to multithread a part of my code without having to break my code.
Using an anonymous method the thread is able to access the local variables of the method that executes the thread.
The trick is very simple and allows great flexibility in the code.

type
  TRefProc = reference to procedure;

function Thread(const proc: TRefProc): THandle;
  function run(const proc: TRefProc): Integer; stdcall;
  begin
    proc;
    Result := 0;
  end;
begin
  CreateThread(nil, 0, @run, PPointer(@proc)^, 0, Result);
end;

procedure DoIt;
var
  done: THandle;
begin
  done := CreateEvent(nil, True, False, nil);
  try
    Thread(procedure
    begin
      sleep(2000);
      SetEvent(done);
    end);
    WaitForSingleObject(done, INFINITE);
  finally
    CloseHandle(done);
  end;
end;

I have a good resolution for this new year I will socialize me.

I am 34 years old and live in Metz in France.

I am self taught for nearly 15 years after abandoning my studies in accounting, and after failing the entrance examination of an art school, the world will never know what artist I could be.
I console myself by saying that what I do is also art.

If you like my work, you can follow me on facebook, twitter and buzz of course. If you can not live without me, there is a button “donate”
