Yes I understand that, but how can I know that a connection failed then?

If using exceptions, by calling Disconnect within TIBODatabase.OnError event
handler a nasty modal dialog occurs ('Dataset is currently fetching'). This
is my whole problem, else I could do things this way, although some property
to realise the current state (something like the ConnectionWasLost) would be
great! I played with ConnectionState, but for me it only showed two values
csConnected, csConnectPending and somehow I didn't solve the problem
refering to this prop. ...?

Please can you give me some hints how things are solved?
Thank you very much
Andreas
