Sample Code:
private void Run()
{
while (bRunning)
{
try
{
if(WaitForSingleObject(ReceivedEvent,INFINITE) == WAIT_OBJECT_0)
{
// Signaled
DoSomething();
}
}
catch(Exception Ex)
{
// An exception occurred
//
trhow(Ex);
}
}
}
Alternative Managed API:
If you have a System.Diagnostic.Process object (possibly created by Process.Start), call Process.WaitForExit().
If you're waiting on a file system object, look at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher
System.Threading.WaitHandle and derivatives (e.g. AutoResetEvent)
