Places the current thread in the sleep state until the number of high-level ticks specified by dwMilliseconds occur.

    DWORD dwMilliseconds
);

Parameters

dwMilliseconds

The time period for which the calling thread waits. Valid values include:

10-655349	The number of milliseconds the thread sleeps, after which it awakes. Note: The kernel converts milliseconds to high-level ticks. Positive values less than 10 are equivalent to RtSleep(0).
NO_WAIT	The thread does not wait.

Return Values

TRUE

Success

FALSE

To determine the status, call GetLastRtError

Status

E_OK 0x0000

No exceptional conditions occurred.

E_PARAM 0x8004

Remarks

The actual time expired from execution of this call to the end of dwMilliseconds varies depending upon how much time remains until the next high-level tick.
