    But you don't want to admit it.

    So for them all modern await (which in fact runs operation in separate thread and waits on event together with message processing using MsgWaitForMultipleObjects) are useless for them. And of course, if you can use .Net Synchronizationb Context in Delphi or in C++ (especially with Visual Studio 2005) it would be great. This is the real development world.

    I bolded the bit not understanding tasks, which do not necessarily spawn a thread, nor does await necessarily use MsgWaitForMultipleObjects. This is what support looks like for one of my products we purchased.

      I'm not entirely sure what your entire complaint is about; but after seeing that the :sunshine:s involved not only are using Delphi as an excuse, but also :elephant:ing VS05 I know everything I need to know: Run away!

      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

        I would but BTFramework is the only game in town for now. The attitude though? It makes me want to release a competing offering into the public domain just to undercut their bottom line. :mad:

            I mean, probably not. I don't have time to research the ridiculous UWP bluetooth interface and tap into it from regular windows, which is apparently the only way to do it short of interfacing with the drivers directly. Besides, I don't code out of spite. I may threaten to though. :laugh:
