You must use TWSocket.ThreadAttach to bind a TWSocket to a thread different from the one which has created the socket. You must call ThreadDetach before terminating the thread of freeing the component. It may be easier to create and free the component within the thread's context, that is within thread's Execute method. When using a DLL, pay attention to memory allocation/deallocation (Use ShareMem). Also pay attention to the fact that whan not using runtime packages, a component of the same class in the main program and in the DLL is in fact two different components ! (Is and As operators do not work as expected at first glance, casting is very dangerous). -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
