## Description

TDaemon is a TCustomDaemon descendent which is meant for development in a visual environment: it contains event handlers for all major operations. Whenever a TCustomDaemon method is executed, it's execution is shunted to the event handler, which can be filled with code in the IDE.

All the events of the daemon are executed in the thread in which the daemon's controller is running (as given by DaemonThread), which is not the main program thread.
