ManagementEventWatcher.WaitForNextEvent Method

Definition

Waits for the next event that matches the specified query to arrive, and then returns it.

public:
 System::Management::ManagementBaseObject ^ WaitForNextEvent();
public System.Management.ManagementBaseObject WaitForNextEvent ();
member this.WaitForNextEvent : unit -> System.Management.ManagementBaseObject
Public Function WaitForNextEvent () As ManagementBaseObject

Returns

A ManagementBaseObject representing the newly arrived event.

Examples

The following example shows how the client receives notification when an instance of Win32_Process is created because the event class is __InstanceCreationEvent. For more information, see the Windows Management Instrumentation documentation. The client receives events synchronously by calling the WaitForNextEvent method. This example can be tested by starting a process, such as Notepad, while the example code is running.

using System;
using System.Management;

// This example shows synchronous consumption of events.
// The client is blocked while waiting for events.

public class EventWatcherPolling
{
    public static int Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create event query to be notified within 1 second of
        // a change in a service
        WqlEventQuery query =
            new WqlEventQuery("__InstanceCreationEvent",
            new TimeSpan(0,0,1),
            "TargetInstance isa \"Win32_Process\"");

        // Initialize an event watcher and subscribe to events
        // that match this query
        ManagementEventWatcher watcher =
            new ManagementEventWatcher();
        watcher.Query = query;
        // times out watcher.WaitForNextEvent in 5 seconds
        watcher.Options.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0,0,5);

        // Block until the next event occurs
        // Note: this can be done in a loop if waiting for
        //        more than one occurrence
        Console.WriteLine(
            "Open an application (notepad.exe) to trigger an event.");
        ManagementBaseObject e = watcher.WaitForNextEvent();

        //Display information from the event
        Console.WriteLine(
            "Process {0} has been created, path is: {1}",
            ((ManagementBaseObject)e
            ["TargetInstance"])["Name"],
            ((ManagementBaseObject)e
            ["TargetInstance"])["ExecutablePath"]);

        //Cancel the subscription
        watcher.Stop();
        return 0;
    }
}

End Class

Remarks

If the event watcher object contains options with a specified time-out, the API will wait for the next event only for the specified amount of time; otherwise, the API will be blocked until the next event occurs.
