   The try lock method is a kinda dangerous idea since it does not provide any   
   garantuee that the lock will ever be acquired.   
      
   However suppose that a garantee must be given that it is acquired at least   
   once per second... then maybe a timer could for example set some boolean   
   like so:   
      
   LockRequired := True;   
      
   Then the code could be:   
      
   if LockRequired then   
   begin   
       mCriticalSection.Enter;   
   end else   
   begin   
       if TryLock then...   
   end;   
      
   Something like that...   
      
   Just a concept ! ;)
