Question

I create a thread

type 
  ss_thread = class;

  ss_thread = class(TThread)
  protected
    Fff_id : string;
    Fff_cmd : string;
    Fff_host : string;
    Fff_port : TIdPort;
    procedure Execute; override;
  public
    constructor Create(const ff_id, ff_cmd: string; ff_host: string; ff_port: TIdPort);
  end;

constructor ss_thread.Create(const ff_id, ff_cmd: string; ff_host: string; ff_port: TIdPort);
begin
  inherited Create(False);
  Fff_id   := ff_id;
  Fff_cmd  := ff_cmd;
  Fff_host := ff_host;
  Fff_port := ff_port;
end;

...
id := 123;
...

nst_ss_thread.Create(id, cmd, host, port);

and doing something on

procedure ss_thread.Execute;
var
  ws : TIdTCPClient;
  data : TIdBytes;
  i : integer;
  list : TList;
begin
      ws := TIdTCPClient.Create(nil);
      ws.Host := Fff_host;
      ws.Port := Fff_port;
....

How to access this thread ‘ws’ variable thru another thread using id:=123 of thread ?

Thanks

Answer 1

It cannot.

You’ve declared ws as a local variable inside ss_thread.execute, which means it’s only visible there. It can’t be seen outside ss_thread.execute, even by other parts of ss_thread.

If you want it visible from other places or threads, you need to move it to a more visible scope. For instance, if you want it visible from other places in ss_thread, move it to the interface declaration in private or protected sections, and if you want it visible from outside ss_thread move it to the published or public sections.
