Ok, here's what I have found so far.

There is no event which mean we have to plug a timer and verify each second if we have new data coming from the server. But, it's workable.

The connection timeout is the default winsock 3 minutes and there doesn't seem a way to adjust that. This is innacceptable as a failed connection will lock the application for 3 minutes until the control react.

There is only 5 properties so I guess he plugged all the default for all other properties. This is not as flexible as other controls I have tested but it is ok so far.

The control is dated from last August so I don't know if the development was stop and if other version will be available.

I sent emails to the owner of the product. Will keep you inform.
