I'm not sure about your thread solution:

- Are you saying that I sould derive my class from both CAsyncSocket and CWinThread?? With this king of inheritage, the OnReceive notification will be implemented in specific thread different from the main thread, right? If I want to access the derived class from the main thread, could exist any conflict? Should I use Critical Section in every method of the class? Please, let me know any sample, if possible...

Thanks, I hope it works...

I'm not saying use multiple inheritance. I'm saying, if you want to use a thread, you must use the kind that is derived from CWinThread. Put your socket into your thread as a member variable. Call the socket only from the thread. If you put the socket in such a thread you cannot access it or use it from the main thread.

What you can do is copy the received data to the heap and pass the heap pointer to the main thread using PostMessage to the main window.
