Forcing Asynchronous Connections
Go Up to Fine-tuning a Connection
Use the ConnectOptions property to force the connection to be asynchronous. Asynchronous connections allow your application to continue processing without waiting for the connection to be completely opened.
By default, ConnectionOptions is set to coConnectUnspecified which allows the server to decide the best type of connection. To explicitly make the connection asynchronous, set ConnectOptions to coAsyncConnect.
The example routines below enable and disable asynchronous connections in the specified connection component:
procedure TForm1.AsyncConnectButtonClick(Sender: TObject); begin with ADOConnection1 do begin Close; ConnectOptions := coAsyncConnect; Open; end; end; procedure TForm1.ServerChoiceConnectButtonClick(Sender: TObject); begin with ADOConnection1 do begin Close; ConnectOptions := coConnectUnspecified; Open; end; end;
void __fastcall TForm1::AsyncConnectButtonClick(TObject *Sender) { ADOConnection1->Close(); ADOConnection1->ConnectOptions = coAsyncConnect; ADOConnection1->Open(); } void __fastcall TForm1::ServerChoiceConnectButtonClick(TObject *Sender) { ADOConnection1->Close(); ADOConnection1->ConnectOptions = coConnectUnspecified; ADOConnection1->Open(); }
