Product: Borland C++ Builder 6.0 Professional

Problem:

Having 2 or more timer event handler, if one of them locks waiting for a
response, the whole program blocks.

Is it possible to block just the event handler waiting for the answer and
remain the other working properly?

Not sure I understand your question correctly. If you block the main thread, 
then the program is blocked. That's normal behaviour.

For example, this will block your program:

void __fastcall OnButtonClick(TObject* Sender)
{
    while(true);
}

If you want a routine waiting for an event without blocking your program, 
then you will need to put that routine in a different thread.
