This article starts new series that is dedicated to some useful VCL classes. Now let’ look at TCollection class. TCollection is a container for TCollectionItem objects. The VCL controls (such as TDBGrid, TListView, TStatusBar, etc) widely use objects derived from TCollection.
The VCL includes TThread class – an abstract class that enables creation of separate threads of execution in an application.

TThreadComponent – a native VCL component that allows quick and easy threading.
“Mutex” is an abbreviation of “Mutual Execution”. The CreateMutex function creates named or unnamed mutex object.
Events are very important synchronization objects. Using mutexs, events, critical sections together allow us to create complex synchronization objects.
