Timeout Property

A timeout for the component.

Syntax

property Timeout: Integer read get_Timeout write set_Timeout;

Default Value

60

Remarks

This property specifies the number of seconds that the component should wait, synchronously, for a response to be received. A value of 0 means that the component will send the request data (when operating in client mode) or the response data (when operating in server mode) asynchronously, and then wait indefinitely, firing the applicable event once complete.

The component will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, ensuring that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the response has not yet been received, the component throws an exception.
