EZThread

EZThread component is an enhancement TThread class. It has been designed to provide extremely easy but efficient implementation and can be used whenever your codes need to be run in a thread. All properties and events can be directly specified in the Object Inspector. The advantage of running your codes in a thread are many. For example, you can run a procedure in the background and still let the user operate your program or do other interface. Any procedure that takes considerable CPU time to complete is worthwhile for you to consider to run that procedure in a thread. These may include copying a large amount of files, scanning or searching a disk drive, sorting big arrays, checking and sending emails or other internet operations and many others. Using EZThread is a breeze. Drop the component in your form and enter your codes (procedures) in the OnExecute event handler. Then, to start the thread running, call the Execute method. To terminate the thread, call Terminate. If you want to suspend the thread without terminating it, you can use Suspend and then Resume to resume the suspended thread.
