What I ended up doing (Which I'll spit out here just in case anyone else ever runs into the same situation .. Or maybe theres a better way):
First define 2 variables.. chatform.socket : pointer; chatform.connected : boolean; Then set the chatform variables mainform.ConnectToServerClick() if not assigned(chatform.socket) then chatform.socket := @WSocket1; mainform.WSocket1.OnSessionConnected() chatform.connected := true; mainform.WSocket1.OnSessionClosed() chatform.connected := false; Then, finally, in the chatform, when the user does something and needs to send data.. if assigned(socket) and connected then TWSocket(socket).sendstr(s); Haven't stress tested it or anything yet, but it works well in my testing so far.
