How to lock mutex (critical section) for some amount of time? Is there any API function for that? As far as I see there is nothing like that in windows. If so, is it possible to implement it manualy?
Thanks.

The equivalent of
pthread_mutex_timedlock()in Win32 is using a Mutex and specifying a timeout (other thanINFINITE) in one of the wait-functions.
