It seems that moving the toast function to another form is the solution to my second question. I wonder why? Still, if someone can answer the first question. Thanks

In an application, I am using Marco Cantu https://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/2014_may_background_delphi_android_threads.html Thread. I have 2 questions 1. I am concerned pressing a button many times does not leave-in memory the last thread or do I have to make sure that before I create a new TThread.CreateAnonymousThread(procedure () that the old one does not exist? 2. On the same program, I would like to use Toast. (Using Notify works). I am trying to put Toast in Synchronize TThread.Synchronize(TThread.CurrentThread, procedure() begin {$IFDEF POSIX} ToastManager1.Toast('Finished Loading Contacts'); // ToastManager1. // FMXToast1.ToastMessage:='aaaaaa'; // FMXToast1.Show(self); // NotifyComplete; {$ENDIF} end); Android gives me a message NO DUPLICATE ALLOWED. So I guess I have to put the TOAST statement outside the thread. Any idea how to? I could put a flag and with timer use it but I do not like the idea.

@Attila Kovacs The joke is on me. Getit does not work on my D10.2.3 it shows an error. So I do not use it. That is life.

What happened to a new download? where is it? not on the page https://parnassus.co/delphi-tools/bookmarks/

This is what I get D10.2.3 Which ver is installed? Haa found it ParnassusBookmarksSetup_v1.5.2.0

As I said we will meet again Today I had my problem again. Explorer was hidden. A while ago I wrote a program that shows the explorer directory name although explorer was HIDDEN. So I had an indication. Searching again for an answer I found a solution. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12946150/how-to-bring-my-application-to-the-front I added SetWindowPos(WebBrowserApp.HWnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST,0,0,0,0, SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE); SetWindowPos(WebBrowserApp.HWnd, HWND_TOPMOST,0,0,0,0, SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE); SetWindowPos(WebBrowserApp.HWnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST,0,0,0,0, SWP_SHOWWINDOW or SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE); and it worked. It poped up explorer. Thanks again

Just used it for dpr. Greate. Thanks for the info. No need for a tool. It took 2 min. I also added "Content Type" is it needed ?

@Turan Can I have been researching this problem for a year now. The last conclusion is that it has a huge problem. Unsolvable especially between windows 7 and 10. Also, the program run "As administrator". I have a huge amount of software most in C but non gave a definitive answer. However "FastCopy" dose it locally while running but not all the time. And since I have its source in c++ I could not duplicate its behavior in Delphi. Whoever you buy a solution from check all the above before paying.

If you have no solution yet I have it on Freelancer.

Well we will meet again (and it might be a long time) when I have some news for you. Sorry, but it will take a long effort to find whats going on. It seems that d10.2.3 with my software does something to explorer. As I said the hidden comes and goes. However, the software on its own is full proof (i hope) and nothing like that happens. No complaints from people using it. I personally using it for years !! Thanks for your help

Ok, I did succeed to make a hidden explorer. How? by executing on D10.2.3 my software. I will keep you guys posted.

The only thing left is to scan the memory. But if the hidden disappear somehow I cannot reproduce it since I do not understand how it happens

@Fr0sT.Brutal One word. I tried. For the hidden, it did not help. No association to Explorer. If you think you know what hidden mean I am willing to learn. the fact is that even "Winspector - Ultimate Windows Spy Utility" did not help. The obvious fact that somehow the hidden disappear. It is a problem I never encounter. I cannot even make that happen. The only thing I am left with that ShellWindows.Count shows it exist. you can try , I am sure you will not be able to see the problem, or maybe yes? var ShellWindows: IShellWindows; if Succeeded(CoCreateInstance(CLASS_ShellWindows, nil, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, IID_IShellWindows, ShellWindows)) then Label2.Caption:=IntToStr( ShellWindows.Count);

My kind of work needs me to move from one directory to the other very often. Many but many times a day.

@Lars Fosdal I appreciate your help. But my need is not something can be solved as per your suggestion. I would have done so. First, you can read the description at http://limelect.com/downloads/explorer-list/ Let me explain what it does. The idea to have links by name to directories it is kind of a short cut. It is on the toolbar and when you press a name it opens explorer, ontop, at the directory. ALL MY SOFTWARE comes out of a need. I could not go to a directory by pressing the mouse button a few times. It bugs me. That way I go to a directory at once. As a benefit of this, you have a HISTORY that brings you back to a few days where you worked. I hope this clarifies why is the problem. lastly, if there is an open explorer (=0) I use it otherwise, I open a new one. P.S a few YEARS ago I asked for help to translate c++ to Delphi you remember? it was for this program
