Greeting's All,
Could anyone tell if it is possible to initialise a message dialog before
the application creates the form. And possibly only create the form after
the user has clicked "ok"
Could you also explain how i should go about setting this.

button on it for you dialog. In the project file (DPR unit), just after
creating the main form, but before showing it or issuing the Application.Run
command, create and show the dialog form. Then, the project should continue
on normally.

But that requires a form for it. isn't there a way just code a messagedlg
function, that runs before the main form. cause otherwise I will just set it
in the formcreate procedure.

dialog using ShowMessage or anything else. Creating your own form is useful
for more involved information to be displayed but you don't have to do it
that way.

created or run. Example:
(this would be your project source file - Project | View Source)
begin
// or used canned dialogs
if MessageDlg('Do you really want to run?', mtConfirmation, [mbYes, mbNo],
0) <>mrYes then
Halt;
// or use your own
with TMySpecialDialog.Create(nil) do
begin
try
if ShowModal <>mrOK then
Halt;
finally
Free;
end;
end;
Application.Initialize;
Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);
Application.Run;
end.
