RtWaitForSingleObject (iwin32x)
INtime SDK v6 > About INtime > Alternate APIs > iwin32 API > iwin32x API > RtWaitForSingleObject (iwin32x)

Wait until either the specified object is in the signaled state, or until the time-out interval elapses.

DWORD RtWaitForSingleObject(
    HANDLE hHandle,
    DWORD dwMilliseconds
);

Parameters

hHandle
Handle to the object. For a list of object types whose handles can be specified, see the Remarks section.
dwMilliseconds
Specifies the time-out interval, in milliseconds. If the interval elapses, the function returns, even if the object's state is nonsignaled. If dwMilliseconds is zero, the function tests the object's state and returns immediately. If dwMilliseconds is INFINITE, the function's time-out interval never elapses.

Remarks

The handle can refer to an object of the following type:

You can also use the RtWaitForSingleObject function from a Windows application to wait for an iwin32 object. In that environment, when a mutex causes a change in a thread's priority, the thread is part of the iwin32x proxy; it is NOT the Windows thread!

Return Values

WAIT_OBJECT_0 Success. The specified object's state is signaled.
WAIT_ABANDONED_0 Success. The specified object was deleted while waiting.
WAIT_TIMEOUT Success. The time-out interval elapsed, and the object's state is nonsignaled.
WAIT_FAILED Failure. Waiting on an invalid handle causes this function to return WAIT_FAILED.

For extended error information, see the Windows' GetLastError function.
