There is not difference. Blocking components are simply object wrappers 
arounds the socket API.

The fact that TIdTCPClient is "visual" also has nothing to do with it. Its 
only visual at design time - its TComponent not a TControl. Its a pure RAD 
feature and does not use a Windowed control at runtime. Its no different than 
a TObject except that it has design time support in the IDE.

There's no difference.
