This would result in very poor performance, it's really not recommended, even though it works ;-) For a simple message loop have a look at CtrlSocket.MessageLoop, it is the built-in message pump that you can call. Property CtrlSocket represents the underlying TWSocket instance, If you want to write your own one take a look at the BDE service framework: SvcMgr.pas TServiceThread.ProcessRequests(), as an example of a thread message pump. --- Arno Garrels [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html > Regards, > > SubZ > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Francois Piette" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "ICS support mailing" <twsocket@elists.org> > Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 4:27 PM > Subject: Re: [twsocket] thread message loop question > > >> You have high CPU usage because you use sync methods.
