Use ReceiveText to read a string from the socket connection in the OnSocketEvent event handler of a Windows socket object or in the OnRead or OnClientRead event handler of a socket component. ReceiveText returns the string that was read. 

ReceiveText only works in response to a read notification to a non-blocking windows socket. Blocking sockets must use a TWinSocketStream for reading. The TWinSocketStream object waits for the remote socket to be ready before transferring information.
