Attached is the code of a small widget application that retrieves data periodically from a website and displays that data in a small UI. Being a Java programmer, the code for the application got quite messy as I am not used to working in delphi. The project would be to clean up the code. Make it simpler, more object oriented, etc. wherever possible. The idea is to have a well readable easily extensible code once the cleanup is done. All the functionality should be maintained. All components required for the application to work (except for the Indy networkign components) are included in the attached files. One difficulty exists, as this app accesses an API of that website that is not open to the public and requires a login. Neither the login nor the access to the API are included. i just inserted the text "THIS PART WILL BE CHANGED BY ME AGAIN" in that position. You will have to simulate the data access in that position. An xml file is provided that shows the exact format of the data that is returned int hat position. The project is currently compile don Delphi 7 Personal Edition and will have to work and compile on that version again after the cleanup. Changes that will have to be made is to make it more stable. Currently, if the internet connection fails, the application stops working correctly. So the idea is that this access is made more stable making it possible to recover and keep working correctly even if the internet connection was lost in between. If this project is successful, more projects will be available inthe future with more additions to this widget.
