Indy 10.1.5 Readtimeout

[D-Fan]

I am using Indy ver 10.1.5. I want to read from the client to see if a
flag is set. If there is no message the timeout event occurs. This
event is difficult to control and I am having problems creating having
this process run in a thread with such an unruly exception. This will
probably occur while running from the IDE. Is there anyway to change
this behavior? FYI I cannot capture the EIDReadTimout exception. If I
try except on EIDReadTimeout I get undefined identifier "EIDReadTimeOut"
at compile time.

That is a very old version. The current version is 10.2.3.

What EXACTLY are you having trouble with? Please be more specific.

You can disable the IDE's handling of the exception at runtime.

Change it to do what exactly? You are being too vague.

Yes, you can. Simply wrap the erroring operation in a try..except block
like with any other exception handling.

You likely did not add the IdExceptionCore unit to your uses clause.
