Now discovered that this porblem is only apparant when running the program from the IDE. It closes down cleanly when run directly from windows. Is this to be expeceted? Running in Delphi 2006 JohnB

It seems that the control opens up a new thread which remains open even when I close the socket. In fact looking at the IDE it seems that a new thread is started each time I open a socket. How do I get it to close the thread when I close the connection. John Barrat _____ From: John Barrat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 September 2006 10:52 To: 'Borland's Delphi Discussion List' Subject: Advice on Closing TtcpClient I have built a control which embodies a TtcpClient control as a sub-control. In my test application for the control I have found that if I close the application while the socket is still connected the application does not close. The form dissappears but it remains as a running process in task manager. What is the safe way of closing this process? I have tried things like While Socket.Connected do socket.close but that doesn't seem to allow a clean shutdown. This is my first attempt at a control so applogies if the question is a bit naive.
