TMutex.Acquire Method

Attempts to acquire a lock on the mutex.

Pascal

procedure Acquire; override;

C++

virtual __fastcall Acquire();

Description

Call Acquire from the thread that needs to use a shared resource.

The Acquire method waits until the mutex becomes free, and then acquires an exclusive lock. This blocks all other threads from acquiring the mutex. Later, calling the Release method will make the mutex available for other threads to acquire.
