I'm using an lnet component in my project. I started w/ the visual
component in my main form. For better handling I want to move the code
into an extra unit.
So far I only succeded to use the base/console component and it seems
to run slower than the visual version.

Is there a way to move the compoment into a unit w/o an extra form?

Or: is the visual version installing some faster event handling than
what I do?



unit MyUnit;

...

 TMyType = class(TLTCPComponent)
    constructor Create(aOwner : TComponent); override;
    procedure ReceiveEvent(aSocket: TLHandle); override;
    procedure ProcesStuff;
 end;

...

procedure TMyType.ReceiveEvent(aSocket: TLHandle);
...
begin
  inherited ReceiveEvent(aSocket);
  GetMessage(s);
  ...<wildy process stuff>...
end;


procedure TMyType.ProcessStuff;
begin
  inherited CallAction;
 ...<send out stuff thru lnet>...
 ...<process other stuff>...
end;


ProcessStuff gets called from AppOnIdle in main.

Ok, the uses clause takes care of the event handlers. no need to extra
call CallAction.
