Look at the TIdSync or TIdNotify class. Or implement your own inter-thread
messaging system.

TIdTCPServer is multi-threaded. The OnConnect event is triggered inside a
worker thread, not the main thread. Access to the UI can only be done
safely from inside the main thread, though.

It is not a matter of "consuming". It is not a thread-safe operation at all
to access the main thread's UI from the context of a worker thread.
