hey all, im building launcher/updater for my game, and i wondering, how to i downloading file from http web site without freezing the application? so if i will find the way how to make the download witout freezing the application, i can make a download progress bar - and thats the main idea what im trying to do while downloading..

i have tryed to incluse "urlmon" and use the UrlDownloadToFile - but that command is freezing the program until the file will be downloaded.

and i also tryed to use uAdvHttp - but that one can download files that uncoded(text files,html files etc.) but not images/zips etc.


so all what i need, is to find how to download a file with progress bar.

You probably have to create a multi-threaded program. However, that's something I don't know much about. I have some examples of it in a book, but have never bothered to learn about it yet.

Edit: Try putting some application.ProcessMessages; commands in there. It's basically the equivalent of Do Events() in VB.

@hyrichter: thx, but i already did it using AdvHttp(wininet) component.. and it works fine!

take a look at the launcher's shot i made(MY 1ST DELPHI's APP!!)
