Automated Unit Testing in Delphi

Development of Visual Delphi Components with Internet
Access
Roger Connell
Innova Solutions
Any Internet development seems to require threads to operate
correctly. Components within Delphi are a useful way of achieving
code reuse. The paper looks at the process we went through
to emulate the VCL components TDirectoryListBox and TFileListBox
as WEB enabled components by encapsulating an Indy FTP Client
in a separate thread. We look at the development decisions,
problems encountered and solutions implemented.
