The Event subproject creates an event with the name MyEvent and a DACL that gives everyone read access to the event and gives the Administrator and Localsystem full access to the event. The Event subproject demonstrates how to use the ATL security classes to build a DACL and gives a target for the ATLSecurity sample.
Event.exe will create an event and wait for a keypress. To use it with ATLSecurity.exe, run Event.exe from one command prompt, then run the following from another command prompt:
ATLSecurity –kernel MyEvent
