Problem with Indy TCPClient or IOHandler
#4

Just because it is implemented in a DLL does not change how threading works. As you said earlier: "Sending of data to the server is done in the Main Thread". Whether the code is implemented inside a DLL or inside the app itself, it should not be executed in the main UI thread, but rather in a worker thread. The UI thread should ONLY service the UI and NOTHING ELSE.

Well, clearly you do have issues with how you are managing the communications, or you would not be asking for help here.

If the communication has structure to it, then why aren't you waiting for a complete message to arrive before you process it? Why are you reading it in arbitrary blocks of partial data? You shouldn't be doing it that way. One of Indy's strengths is being able to handle structured data.

That is not what you said earlier (see above).

Then I can't help you further with your UI blocking issue. Based on everything you have described so far, it is clear that you are not using Indy correctly/effectively, but without seeing CODE, I can't tell you what is wrong with it, or how to make it work correctly/better.
