Im writing an Indy chat app, and am wondering if there is a way for the server component to tell the client that there is a string waiting, or even a way for the client to have an "OnExecute" like event. This is what i have now:

server:

procedure TServer.ServerExecute(AContext: TIdContext);
var
  sResponse: string;
  I: Integer;
  list: Tlist;

begin
  List := Server.Contexts.LockList;
  sResponse:= AContext.Connection.Socket.ReadLn;
    try
    for I := 0 to List.Count-1 do
    begin
      try
        TIdContext(List[I]).Connection.IOHandler.WriteLn(sResponse);
      except
      end;
    end;
  finally
    Server.Contexts.UnlockList;
    end;
end;

Client:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  sMsg : string;
begin
  Client.Socket.WriteLn(edit1.Text);
  sMsg := Client.Socket.ReadLn;
  Memo1.Lines.Add(sMsg);
end;

The problem is when i have 2 or more clients running the messages keep stacking because the button only processes 1 message a time. I'd like a way for the client to wait for messages and when it is triggered it processes those messages, like it does now under the button procedure. I've tried to put the "readln" part under a timer, but that causes some major problems.

Im Using Delphi 2010 and Indy 10
