WSACreateEvent

A version of this page is also available for

Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3

4/8/2010

This function creates a new event object.

Syntax

WSAEVENT  WSACreateEvent (void);

Parameters

None.

Return Value

If the function fails, the return value is set to NULL. To receive extended error information call WSAGetLastError.

Remarks

This function is used to create an event object that is manually reset with an initial nonsignaled state. Winsock event objects are system objects in Windows Embedded CE environments. Therefore, if a Windows Embedded CE application requires auto reset events, it can call the native WSACreateEvent function directly. The scope of an event object is limited to the process in which it is created.

Requirements

Header winsock2.h
Library Ws2.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
