You can run the loop in a TThread or use TTimer instead of a loop. If you 
use TTimer you have to use some global variables (counter) to control the 
loop. If it's a endless loop then no need to check exit condition. Of 
course it's easier to use TThread because you don't have anything to change 
in your loop construct.

But me ,personally, will avoid TThread because you might encounter some 
conflicts when your program gets complex.
