Any provision for sending a Stream or Binary Transfer? >> Hence my earlier
statement about TPersistent
If so how 'bout a sample. What I am thinking would be :
Create TSomeObject = class( TPersistent )
public
blah,
blah,
blah
(This is not actual code, only enough of a framework to convey my idea...)
procedure GetObjectFromMyThread(TSomeObject)
var
str: TMemoryStream; //???
begin
str := TIdTCPClient.***READ THE OBJECT FROM STREAM?**
TSomeObject.LoadFromStream Str ...
end;
procedure SendObjectToThread(Sender)
var
str: TMemoryStream;
begin
FMyObject.SaveToStream(str);
TIdTCPClient.***SEND THE OBJECT UP VIA STREAM***
end;
