[Synalist] Newbie question: just using OnStatus to receive data

[Paul R. <Paul.Read@nSolve.com>]

I am trying to get up and running using Synapse to send and receive over 
sockets.  Previously I have used Borland's TClientWinSocket in a 
non-blocking mode with good results.

I have looked at the Synapse echo sample and see two threads are used, 
one to monitor the port and then a second thread to for each connection 
made to that port.  Is this the recommended method as ideally I'd just 
like to use the OnStatus event to tell me when there is new data to read 
but the OnStatus event does not get called in my very simple single 
threaded test program below:


//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
    : TForm(Owner)
{
    m_pBlockSocket=new TTCPBlockSocket();
    m_pBlockSocket->CreateSocket();
    m_pBlockSocket->SetLinger(true,10);
    m_pBlockSocket->Bind("192.168.1.11","67");
    m_pBlockSocket->GetSins();
    m_pBlockSocket->Listen();
    m_pBlockSocket->OnStatus=SocketStatus;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TForm1::SocketStatus(TObject *pSender,THookSocketReason 
reason,const String value)
{
    ListBox1->Items->Add("Event: "+value);
}


So my question is: am I trying to use Synapse in a way it is not 
designed to be used and I must go to a multithreaded solution?

Your help is appreciated or please point me to a working example of 
sending data and receiving a 'new data has arrived' event over sockets 
using Synapse

thanks
