EXE and DLL

[Guest]

Message from: "Sergio"

 

Hi Farshad, a "philosofic" question:

 

My actual EXE dynamically calls DLL functions that in turn open new

Forms. Both EXE and DLL are part of my delphi app, not 3rd. party DLL,

of course, and I can't combine them into a single EXE (1 EXE, several

possible DLL chosen at runtime).

 

In converting it to uniGUI, when EXE calls/initialize one of those

DLLs, it will need to pass some kind of session environment var so the

DLL form creation code can attach this new form to the EXE session, so

it appears to the user as another app. form in the same browser.

 

Is it trivial, difficult, possible?

 

Will events go to the right form (EXE or DLL) in this schema?

 

NOTE: DLL always do Form.showmodal, user can't freely switch between

EXE forms and DLL forms.

 

Thanxs in advance,

Sergio.

In same browser window all Forms should belong to same app session.

Normally you pass "uniApplication" as constructor parameter when you create

a new Form so that should be enough to make new Form attach to calling

session.

 

Have you tried this?
