You should not disable a "strange method" unless you fully understand what it does and if it is not used elsewhere. You can of course disable it for your own applications or components but surely not for existing applications or components. If you do, you'llk probably break something because the applications or components are developped assuming the behaviour you consider "strange". The only way to do that disabling for your applications only is to derive a new component form TWSocket and use that new component in your applications. Everything else will still use the original component and work as expected. Clearly here, the "strange method" is not a bug. It is a feature. By design TWSocket reset some properties to default values. There is a good reason behind that design, even if that reason is no more really applicable today, that behaviour must be preserved because existing code may rely on it. As a side note: When you think something must be changed in ICS components, then sublit your proposal here, explain why your change is needed, either adding a new feature or fixing an issue, and let's discuss it. If it is approved, then your change will be done in the component for everyone. One gold rule with ICS is "do not break existing code unless really really really needed". -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
