Thanks. This is new for me. Can I use(read/write) the objects stored in
the TThreadList no matter what kind of object it is?
And what if I want to use a TStringList? Or a TWhatEver? Put it in a
TThreadList (threadlist.add(AWhatEver);) and use it from there
(TWhatEver(threadlist.items[0]).DoSomething)? Or is it better to make
TWhatever thread safe from scratch (with a critical section)?
Cheers,
M.
