Initializes the Mutex object. Must be called before any other
usage.
owned - Boolean, default is False. If True the Mutex is owned
by the calling thread.
name - name of the Mutex,
default is unnamed (empty string does the same).
ReleaseMutex
Syntax:
object.ReleaseMutex
Releases the ownership over the Mutex object and leaves it to
be obtained by other waiting threads.
Wait
Syntax:
b = object.Wait([timeout])
Waits the specified time to obtain the ownership over the Mutex
object.
Returns: True if the wait operation is successful and False if
the Timeout has been exceeded.
timeout - (long) milliseconds to wait. Default is infinite
(-1).
Valid
Syntax:
b = object.Valid
Checks if the object is valid - initialized. If the Create
method has not been called yet it will return False, otherwise
True will be returned. Rarely needed but in applications with code
spread through many files (such as ASP applications) it may be
useful to resolve some application design problems.
IsOwned
Syntax:
b = object.IsSet
Like Wait but waits 0 milliseconds and returns the state of the
Mutex object (Boolean).
