Yes it should, however I do things differently now.

Firstly I do not use thus timeout anymore.

I wrote some code where recv waits forever,
then populates a string when data comes in
and if one of the chars is a linefeed
I trigger an event like this......

SetEvent(GotData);

where

HANDLE GotData = CreateEvent(NULL, false, false, NULL);

Then when I read a string, I do like this....

bool Timeout=false;
AnsiString  __fastcall MySockets::ReadLn(int timeoutms)
{
   AnsiString A = "";
   DWORD ret=WaitForSingleObject(GotData, timeoutms);
   if (ret==WAIT_TIMEOUT) { Timeout=true; return A; }
   if (ret==WAIT_OBJECT_0)
   {
     <PSEUDOCODE> A = ExtractData() </PSEUDOCODE>
     return A;
   }
   return A; // maybe some other error....
}
