);
Parameters
[in] ResultSet
The handle to a query or subscription result set that the EvtQuery function or the EvtSubscribe function returns.
[in] EventsSize
The number of elements in the EventArray array. The function will try to retrieve this number of elements from the result set.
[in] Events
A pointer to an array of handles that will be set to the handles to the events from the result set.
[in] Timeout
The number of milliseconds that you are willing to wait for a result. Set to INFINITE to indicate no time-out value. If the time-out expires, the last error is set to ERROR_TIMEOUT.

Return value
Return code/value | Description |

The function failed. To get the error code, call the GetLastError function. |
Remarks
Call this function in a loop until the function returns FALSE and the error code is ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS.
For each event that you retrieve, you can then call the EvtCreateRenderContext and EvtRender functions to render the event.
You must call EvtClose on each event handle that you receive.
