"If you supply a value of zero for the timeout parameter, EvtGetEvent
returns the event currently in the queue, or, if there aren't any events in
the queue, it immediately generates and returns a nilEvent."

evtWaitForever is defined to be "-1" while evtNoWait is defined to be "0".
Passing zero for the timeout parameter will not wait at all for an event to
enter the queue if one is not already there.
