Hi,

I am trying to show my own custom form using the OnShowRegistrationDialog plugin function however when the function is called I am getting the following error message:

---------------------------
The Enigma Protector
---------------------------
Internal Protection Error, please contact to author!
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I have created a new blank form (TForm1 which is listed in the uses section as Unit1) and I'm using the following to create and display it:

Code: Select all

function Enigma_Plugin_OnShowRegistrationDialog : boolean;
var
  Dialog: TForm1;
begin
  Dialog := TForm1.Create(nil);
  try
    Dialog.ShowModal;
  finally
    Dialog.Free;
  end;
  Result := True;
end;

However if I don't use the visual form (TForm1) and just call the TForm.Create(nil) directly, the form is displayed fine.

Any help with this would be great

Thanks,
Tim

Unfortunately, the way you are trying won't work with Enigma Protector. The problem happens due to specific of the Delphi, and how it shows forms.

As far as I remember, this problem can be solved if you call this method of the form create:

Code: Select all

Dialog := TForm1.CreateNew();

With CreateNew it should work. But for such form you will have to create all form element/control yourselves, DFM form won't work.

Also, light weight implementation would be by using Windows API function only, like CreateWindow etc, it will also work.

Using the CreateNew function has allowed me to create the new form which in turn has I can do what I wanted to do with the form (override the Creation, CreateParams & CreateWnd).

With the original dialog I was creating the controls from code anyway, so it just required a quick copy & paste

Thanks for the pointers.
