Hi All,
I am writing a network application using Indy (BCB 6). I want to 
transfer messages of the type {int size; ....; char *data_of_this_size}.
The receiving thread looks like this:

while(!Terminated && Client->Connected())
{
      Client->ReadBuffer(block->Header, 22);
      if(block->Decode(block->Header, 22))  // convert received buffer 
to  e.g. size
       {
         Client->ReadBuffer(block->Buffer, block->Size);
         ...;
       }
}
the problem is that this code is obviously block the thread when I want 
to shutdown application

Is there better way to write the receiving thread ?
Boris
