Shouldn’t we check for functionality? Apparently, delay loading in Delphi 2010 wasn’t created with this idea in mind." Have you checked out the hooks in System.pas to see if this can be made possible? Only running the trial, I don't have the source, and with a lack of C++ experience my blind attempts only created nasty exceptions. Would be nice to know whether that was just because of my ignorance (as I assume) and not bugs and/or limitations in the hooks though... “Haven’t we learned that it is not good to check for the OS version?
