Hi
Many thanks for all the replies. This is a really great mailing list
I am using application.processmessages because I need to connect to several
different sockets as follows
for i := 1 to CustScreenCount do begin
while sckCustScreen.State <> wsclosed do
Application.ProcessMessages;
sckCustScreen.Addr := HttpServer1.Addr;
sckCustScreen.Port := IntToStr(51000 + i);
try
sckCustScreen.Tag := 1;
timSocket.Enabled := True;
sckCustScreen.Connect;
except
end;
end;
The connected event closes the connection. My timer aborts the connection
if it takes too long.
I have put a single twsocket on my form and I am trying to reuse it.
Everybody has told me that the application.processmessages is very bad.
Any ideas on the best way for my program to be coded to do what I want?
Regards
Chris

Why do you need a thread? If you call connect to open a socket to the
other application, it will eventually give a connect event with fail or
success, from which you can trigger some other action if necessary.
Look in OverbyteIcsWebAppServerMailer.pas which uses illustrates sending
email from a web page, using a series of events.
