It makes absolutely no difference whether you compare it to true or
false, or if you simple call it by "if not".

A comparison to True can produce a wrong result, when a semi-boolean type (WordBool...) is compared, or when somebody forced an non-boolean value into a boolean variable. Even if this will never happen in your own code <BG>, other people have other skills or habits, and they may wonder why your pattern doesn't work for them.


Or with even clearer flow of code:

if RunClickEvent then begin
showmessage('This is only shown when needed...');
end;


Why is that any clearer?

Some people ban the use of Exit, with reasonable arguments. I tend to use Exit myself, but in at least one case I wondered why the code, added to the end of a subroutine, was not always executed - due to an Exit hidden somewhere in the preceding code :-(
