Indy 10 IdTCPClient Reading data using a separate stream?

Question

Question: I'm looking for the most typical or best way to use a separate thread to retrieve data using IdTCPClient in Indy 10.

Background: The code below is an example of what I'm trying to do with the actual data processing details removed for clarity. The idea of ​​the stream is to receive all the data (a variable size with a header declaring the rest of the message length), and then analyze it (which is done by the HandleData procedure) and start the event handler depending on the command.

The TIdIOHandlerSocket is passed to the stream by the main application, which also writes data to the socket as and when required.

TScktReceiveThread = class(TThread)
  private
    { Private declarations }
    procedure HandleData;
  protected
    procedure Execute; override;
  public
    FSocket: TIdIOHandlerSocket;
    constructor Create(CreateSuspended: boolean);
  end;


procedure TScktReceiveThread.Execute;
var
  FixedHeader: TBytes;
begin
  Assert(FSocket <> nil, 'You must assign the connected socket to the receiving thread');
  SetLength(FixedHeader, 2);
   while not Terminated do
    begin
      if not FSocket.Connected then
        Suspend
      else
        begin
          FSocket.CheckForDataOnSource(10);
          if not FSocket.InputBufferIsEmpty then
           begin
            FSocket.ReadBytes(FixedHeader, SizeOf(FixedHeader), false);
            // Removed the rest of the reading and parsing code for clarity
            Synchronize(HandleData);
           end;
        end;
    end;
end;
