Attempts to acquire a lock on the semaphore.

Pascal
procedure Acquire; override;
C++
virtual __fastcall Acquire();
Description

Call Acquire from the thread that needs to use some of a shared resource's units.  

The Acquire method waits until the semaphore becomes free, that is, the number of free units of the resource is nonzero. Then the Acquire method acquires a lock on the semaphore.  

If the semaphore is not free, then the calling thread is added to the semaphore waiting queue.
