Hi, OK...
Make sense but if you have a few TWSocets running at the same time and from every connection writing to a shared TMemo you do not need to synchronize it somehow ? OK, maybe my problem was different. Thanks for elaborating this.

Please read again what I said: His program isn't multithreaded. If you use threads, then you can NOT acces any GUI item - such as a TMemo - from your thread. VCL is not "thread safe". > I was told by a friend that the reason for that happening is that window is not an RT OS and will time slice the operation. This is not related at all to a real time operating system or not. > Am I missing here something ? I don't know. Maybe you forgot that TWSocket component multitask without using threads. It simply uses events. And as such don't need to use synchronization objects. Of course if you use TWSocket in a thread, you are back to the difficulties of multithreading. And you may actually built a slower application to make a long story short. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be Embarcadero MVP http://www.overbyte.be http://francois-piette.blogspot.com -- 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 ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ -- 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
