You are not supposed to be updating the controls of the main thread
from within the context of a worker thread to begin with.  For a
worker thread to safely access the UI, it should be using the
TThread::Synchronize() method for that.  This is clearly stated at the
top of every unit that the IDE generates when you choose the "File |
New | Thread" wizard.  For example:

    void __fastcall TWorkerThread::Execute()
    {
        //...
        Synchronize(UpdateUI);
        //...
    }

    void __fastcall TWorkerThread::UpdateUI()
    {
        MainForm->Label1->Caption = "connecting...";
        DataModule->SocketConnection1->Connected = true;
    }

You still haven't said which component you are actually using.  I
asked you that question in my last reply.

No.
