You can detach a socket from a thread only when you call ThreadDetach within the same thread context which called TreadAttach (or the creating thread context if no attach has been done). See how ThreadDetach and ThreadAttach are implemented: they save and check thread ID. btw: Have you read my previous messages ? I'm still convinced you are confusing TThread class with thread execution context. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be ----- Original Message ----- From: "Humm, Markus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <twsocket@elists.org> Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 10:15 AM Subject: [twsocket] closing socket socket > Hello, > > I tried something different now, but without success yet. > After looking at which thread ids where involved I got the following > results: > > - the socket is created in one thread > - the other thread is sending data over the socket, which works like a > charm > - the other thread then requests a close of the connection, so the > socket.shutdown > call is within the context of the other thread. > > Is this a problem?
