CloseThreadpoolWork function (threadpoolapiset.h)

Releases the specified work object.

Syntax

void CloseThreadpoolWork(
  [in, out] PTP_WORK pwk
);

Parameters

[in, out] pwk

A pointer to a TP_WORK structure that defines the work object. The CreateThreadpoolWork function returns this pointer.

Return value

None

Remarks

The work object is freed immediately if there are no outstanding callbacks; otherwise, the work object is freed asynchronously after the outstanding callbacks complete.

If there is a cleanup group associated with the work object, it is not necessary to call this function; calling the CloseThreadpoolCleanupGroupMembers function releases the work, wait, and timer objects associated with the cleanup group.

To compile an application that uses this function, define _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0600 or higher.
