Hello ,

i am using Dart TCP component with Borland C++ builder.

when the tcp socket is on the main thread, the socket would stop receiving events, if the main thread is blocked and not processing windows messages.

If i put the TCP component on a class that derives from TThread, and the main thread is blocked, the socket would still not get the receive event

Only way i can make it work if i keep polling the receive buffer for more data, but this seems highly inefficient.

is there a demo app that i can see, or some documentation available on how to receive events on a separate thread ?

many thanks

Hi,
It sounds like the thread lacks a message pump to process the event messages.

The preferred technique would be to use blocking Receive calls on the worker thread.

Hope it helps,
