Yes. You just need an object for the method.
But why do you want an application without a form?

Easiest way:

Create a Form1Create and add the code
Application.OnIdle:=
Keep the cursor after the := operator and press Shift-Ctrl-C for code
completion. In the new method you can do whatever needed. For example
setting Application.OnIdle to nil, so that your method is called only once.
