This function creates a new event object.
Syntax
WSAEVENT WSACreateEvent (void);
Parameters
None.
Return Value
If the function fails, the return value is set to NULL. To receive extended error information call WSAGetLastError.
Remarks
This function is used to create an event object that is manually reset with an initial nonsignaled state. Winsock event objects are system objects in Windows Embedded CE environments. Therefore, if a Windows Embedded CE application requires auto reset events, it can call the native WSACreateEvent function directly. The scope of an event object is limited to the process in which it is created.
Requirements
