TiComponent.Unlock

TiComponent See Also

Decreases the LockCount property, allowing other threads to execute when LockCount reaches 0.

procedure Unlock;

Description

Call Unlock at the end of a critical section begun with a call to the Lock method.

The paint method for the component will automatically call the Lock method before painting and call the Unlock method after completing the painting. This will prevent thread conflicts with the main application thread.

The Lock and Unlock method utilize a critical section API object and must be paired. Each call to Lock increments the Lock count for the thread and each call to Unlock decrements the Lock count for the thread.

Example

Delphi

iComponent.Unlock;

C++ Builder

iComponent->Unlock();
