TWidgetSet.InitializeCriticalSection procedure

Declaration

procedure InitializeCriticalSection(var CritSection: TCriticalSection)
 ; virtual

Arguments

Description

Critical sections are thread synchronization elements, typically used to prevent concurrent access to a shared resource.

Only one thread can own a critical section at the same time, other requests (to enter the same critical section) are delayed until the owner has left the critical section.

The TCriticalSection type is platform specific. It is treated like a Handle.
