Background: This question relates to versions of Delphi below 2009 (ie without Unicode support built in). I have a specification that requires me to transmit a Unicode encoded string over a TCP connection but I do not have Delphi 2009.

I'd like to display splash screen while the application is loading. However some 3rd party components block main thread during initilization for several seconds, which causes all forms not to update.

I've got a project that I started in Turbo Delphi, which I recently updated to D2009, and I've noticed a bit of a quirk in the form designer. All the old forms have a Win98 style applied to them. The buttons are gray with sharp square edges, for example. But any new form I've created since the upgrade displays its controls in WinXP styl...
