Well in Delphi 6 there is a yellow bottle icon in the "Indy Misc" tab on the
component pallette. (It looks like a gasoline bottle (or petrol can if your
british like me)).
Drop one of those onto the form (and any others you have in the app for best
results) and it will force the forms to be redrawn/refreshed while the indy
component is still working/freezing.
You do still notice a very mild (and I mean mild) sluggishness but it's very
tiny and can hardly be noticed. Assuming your version of Indy still has the
Antifreeze component then you really should use it on every form whenever
you use an Indy component. Indy uses blocking sockets (I think - might be
non-blocking I can't remember now but they're apparently evil these sockets)
and so whenever you use an Indy component, it will freeze while it's doing
stuff. Antifreeze is their solution to this and works very effectively.
Hope this helps!
