TFileStream provides buffered output, which is great in most cases, but in some cases (especially during debugging) it's nice to flush the buffer immediately. Thing is, I don't know of any way to do that except calling Free, which is kind of counterproductive. Is there a better way to do it? ...

When I seek to a position below the beginning of the stream, the function returns -1 and if I seek to a beyond the stream size, the function returns what would have been the position in t...
is there a way to see if an instace of tfile stream is being used? for example if i declare FS of type tfilestream,write buffer to it and finally free the stream using tfilestream.free can i check something like: if tfilestream.NotActive then //code if tfilestream.beingused then //code if tfilestream.free = true then //code a...
