Aguardando vários objetos

O exemplo a seguir usa a função CreateEvent para criar dois objetos de evento e a função CreateThread para criar um thread. Em seguida, ele usa a função WaitForMultipleObjects para aguardar que o thread defina o estado de um dos objetos a ser sinalizado usando a função SetEvent .

Para obter um exemplo que aguarda um único objeto, consulte Usando objetos Mutex.
