CMultiLock::Lock
Call this function to gain access to one or more of the resources controlled by the synchronization objects supplied to the CMultiLock constructor.
DWORD Lock(
DWORD dwTimeOut = INFINITE,
BOOL bWaitForAll = TRUE,
DWORD dwWakeMask = 0
);
Parameters
dwTimeOut
Specifies the amount of time to wait for the synchronization object to be available (signaled). If INFINITE, Lock will wait until the object is signaled before returning.bWaitForAll
Specifies whether all objects waited on must become signaled at the same time before returning. If FALSE, Lock will return when any one of the objects waited on is signaled.dwWakeMask
Specifies other conditions that are allowed to abort the wait. For a full list of the available options for this parameter, see MsgWaitForMultipleObjects in the Windows SDK.
Return Value
If Lock fails, it returns – 1. If successful, it returns one of the following values:
Between WAIT_OBJECT_0 and WAIT_OBJECT_0 + (number of objects – 1)
If bWaitForAll is TRUE, all objects are signaled (available). If bWaitForAll is FALSE, the return value – WAIT_OBJECT_0 is the index in the array of objects of the object that is signaled (available).
WAIT_OBJECT_0 + (number of objects)
An event specified in dwWakeMask is available in the thread's input queue.
Between WAIT_ABANDONED_0 and WAIT_ABANDONED_0 + (number of objects – 1)
If bWaitForAll is TRUE, all objects are signaled, and at least one of the objects is an abandoned mutex object. If bWaitForAll is FALSE, the return value – WAIT_ABANDONED_0 is the index in the array of objects of the abandoned mutex object that satisfied the wait.
WAIT_TIMEOUT
The timeout interval specified in dwTimeOut expired without the wait succeeding.
Remarks
If bWaitForAll is TRUE, Lock will return successfully as soon as all the synchronization objects become signaled simultaneously. If bWaitForAll is FALSE, Lock will return as soon as one or more of the synchronization objects becomes signaled.
If Lock is not able to return immediately, it will wait for no more than the number of milliseconds specified in the dwTimeOut parameter before returning. If dwTimeOut is INFINITE, Lock will not return until access to an object is gained or a condition specified in dwWakeMask was met. Otherwise, if Lock was able to acquire a synchronization object, it will return successfully; if not, it will return failure.
