App disappearing on me!!!

[LazyBoard]

I've wrote this GUI app and the thing works great running permanently for a week, but at random it would just close itself. Closing is by password, and the program does not ask for any passwords to close, so I suspect it is a funny crash, ie. No error message!!! You would expect to see some kind of error message when things like this happen.

Running permamently for a week. i.e. not being closed over night? If so, cause might be a memory leak.

I agree surprising that there is no error message.

Sounds intriguing. More details like what the program does might help shed more light.

To VintageWine, yes running continuosly for a week. To Eyebean, it is just a couple of maps with icons displayed on them for use in a building management system. This controls other custom software through TCP/IP to open doors etc. I find it strange that it a memory leak, because the size of the program stays the same in memory, ie. doesn't grow bigger. I must say that this program does occupy about 35MB of memory if resident, because of all the Maps and controls.

Probably won't help much, but maybe there's a TCP/IP error that causes the app to crash. Maybe some config file that's off (since it worked before). Or thinking simpler, maybe someone ctrl-alt-del killed it while you were away.

Why dont you catch the exception and tell me what it is
To do so
place this in Form1.FormCreate(..)
begin
...
// now to handle the exception event
Application.OnException := AppException;
end;

and then this procedure in you code

// Handle the Exception
procedure TForm1.AppException(Sender: TObject; E: Exception);

begin
//Application.ShowException(E);
//Application.Terminate;
// èçáèðà ñå äàëè äà ñå ïîêàçâà exception

end;

Dont forget to place this in the public section
public
// Exception handler
procedure AppException(Sender: TObject; E: Exception);

I am curious to see what error message will this show ?!?
Good Luck

Good Luck !
