Is there any way to tell when a task has a lock

[ChasGl]

Normally I can just keep track of it. But upon an external termination I can get into problems. If I don't release a lock, well it stays locked. If I release it and don't have it I get a run time error. But I can't find a way to ask a lock if I have it.

ChasGI,

Unfortunately, there is not a way to query a lock to determine what/who posseses it.

The Get Status lock operation returns the Number of Threads Waiting to Lock the Lock. You could get creative with that.

Thanks, Actually I found something that does what I want. If I lock with lifetime of thread then if the tread is terminated release comes freely and naturally.
