Comments

This function is used to lock the container present in the TW_CAPABILITY structure.

Once the user has the pointer to the container, the container may be changed. When the user has finished changing the container he or she must call L_TwainUnlockContainer to unlock the container. Note that this can also be accomplished using the C API GlobalLock and GlobalUnlock functions.
