TIdTelnet Disconnect

[omarreis]

Rather than doing a full Disconnect() in a worker thread, I would probably just Close() the IOHandler to close the underlying socket, let the reading thread detect the closure (ie, a read failure) and terminate itself, and then have the main thread detect that (or have the worker signal the main thread) to Disconnect() the client to free up the thread.

I tried: 
  IdTelnet1.IOHandler.Close;
instead of:
  IdTelnet1.Disconnect;

(calls from the UI thread)

That fixed the app blocking problem, but the component no longer called IdTelnet1.Disconnected event, which I use.

The threaded  disconnect solution above seems to work better.

Thanks
