CreateThreadpoolWork function (threadpoolapiset.h)
Creates a new work object.
Syntax
PTP_WORK CreateThreadpoolWork(
[in] PTP_WORK_CALLBACK pfnwk,
[in, out, optional] PVOID pv,
[in, optional] PTP_CALLBACK_ENVIRON pcbe
);
Parameters
[in] pfnwk
The callback function. A worker thread calls this callback each time you call SubmitThreadpoolWork to post the work object. For details, see WorkCallback.
[in, out, optional] pv
Optional application-defined data to pass to the callback function.
[in, optional] pcbe
A pointer to a TP_CALLBACK_ENVIRON structure that defines the environment in which to execute the callback. Use the InitializeThreadpoolEnvironment function to initialize the structure before calling this function.
If this parameter is NULL, the callback executes in the default callback environment. For more information, see InitializeThreadpoolEnvironment.
Return value
If the function succeeds, it returns a pointer to a TP_WORK structure that defines the work object. Applications do not modify the members of this structure.
If the function fails, it returns NULL. To retrieve extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
To compile an application that uses this function, define _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0600 or higher.
Examples
For an example, see Using the Thread Pool Functions.
