size_t wait(
unsigned int _Timeout = COOPERATIVE_TIMEOUT_INFINITE
);
Parameters
- _Timeout
Indicates the number of milliseconds before the wait times out. The value COOPERATIVE_TIMEOUT_INFINITE signifies that there is no timeout.
Return Value
If the wait was satisfied, the value 0 is returned; otherwise, the value COOPERATIVE_WAIT_TIMEOUT to indicate that the wait timed out without the event becoming signaled.
Important
In a Windows Store app, do not call wait on the ASTA thread because this call can block the current thread and can cause the app to become unresponsive.
