**LOCKTHREAD**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **LOCKTHREAD** statement re-locks the current execution thread that has been unlocked with the UNLOCKTHREAD statement.

The THREADLOCKED() procedure determines whether the thread has been unlocked or not.

**Example:**

** UNLOCKTHREAD                   !Unlock the thread**

** MyLibraryCodeWithMessageLoop   !Call the code that has its own message loop**

** LOCKTHREAD                     !Re-lock the thread**
