OK, there was a small typo in that one.
I've got as far as this now. It tells me
"[DCC Error] ServerTest.dpr(10): E2003 Undeclared identifier:
'TIdPeerThread'"
So, where is TIdPeerThread defined?
Thanks
program ServerTest;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
SysUtils,IdBaseComponent,IdComponent,IdTCPServer;
var
svr:TIdTCPServer;
procedure Execute(AThread: TIdPeerThread);
begin
end;
begin
svr:=tidtcpserver.Create();
svr.Bindings.DefaultPort := 1000;
svr.onexecute:=Execute;
svr.Active:=true;
while true do sleep(10000);
end.
