ImageBuffer.Lock Method

[C#]
public void Lock();

Increments the lock count of the buffer by one, so that the control does not overwrite the data in the ImageBuffer. Each call to lock must be matched with a call to ImageBuffer.Unlock, so that the buffer can be used again by the control.

This example locks and unlocks an ImageBuffer:

[C#]
ImageBuffer Buffer = ICImagingControl1.ImageBuffers[0];
Buf.Lock();
//   Do a lengthy operation.
Buf.Unlock();
