I don't think WaitForSingleObject and WaitForMultipleObjects will work on a named pipe. The documentation for these functions doesn't list these as waitable objects. It certainly doesn't work at present; I tried WaitForSingleObject on the handle and it always returns immediately without waiting.
I've read on forums that you might be able to get it to work by opening the named pipe on the client side with the SYNCHRONIZE flag, but I'm not sure if this actually works. I believe the *correct* (but painful) way is to use overlapped IO and get an event object which can then be waited on. -- James Teh Email/MSN Messenger/Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.jantrid.net/ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
