Sample Code:

    Private Const QS_ALLEVENTS As Integer = 1215
    Private Const WAIT_OBJECT_0 As Integer = 0
    Private Const WAIT_FAILED As Integer = -1

    Dim arrHandles(0) As IntPtr
    Dim bAddref As Boolean

    Try
        readyEvent.SafeWaitHandle.DangerousAddRef(bAddref)
        arrHandles(0) = readyEvent.SafeWaitHandle.DangerousGetHandle()

        Select Case MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(1, arrHandles, 1, waitInterval, QS_ALLEVENTS)
        Case WAIT_OBJECT_0
            retcode = True
        Case WAIT_FAILED
            Dim errorCode As Integer = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetLastWin32Error
            Dim errMsg As String = New System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception(errorCode).Message
