This call releases the screen lock that is set by VioScrLock. The VioScrUnLock call must be issued by a thread in the same process as the thread that issued VioScrLock.

The status always indicates the unlock is successful (return code = 0).
#define INCL_VIO USHORT rc = VioScrUnLock(VioHandle); HVIO VioHandle; /* Video handle */ USHORT rc; /* return code */
