QueueUserAPC
[New - Windows NT]
The QueueUserAPC function adds a user-mode asynchronous procedure call (APC) object to the APC
queue of the specified thread.
DWORD QueueUserAPC(
PAPCFUNC pfnAPC,
| // pointer to APC function
| HANDLE hThread,
| // handle to the thread
| DWORD dwData
| // argument for the APC function
| );
|
|
Parameters
pfnAPC
Points to the application-supplied APC function to be called when the
specified thread performs an alertable wait operation.
hThread
Specifies the handle to the thread. The handle must have THREAD_SET_CONTEXT
access. For more information, see Thread Objects.
dwData
Specifies a single DWORD argument that is passed to the APC function pointed
to by the pfnAPC parameter.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.
If the function fails, the return value is FALSE. There are no error values
defined for this function that can be retrieved by calling GetLastError.
Remarks
The APC support provided in the operating system allows an application to
queue an APC object to a thread. Each thread has its own APC queue. The queuing of
an APC is a request for the thread to call the APC function. The operating
system issues a software interrupt to direct the thread to call the APC function.
When a user-mode APC is queued, the thread is not directed to call the APC
function unless it is in an alertable state. A thread enters an alertable state by
using SleepEx, SignalObjectAndWait, WaitForSingleObjectEx, WaitForMultipleObjectsEx, or MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx to perform an alertable wait operation. After the thread is in an alertable
state, the thread handles all pending APCs in first in, first out (FIFO) order,
and the wait operation returns WAIT_IO_COMPLETION.
If an application queues an APC before the thread begins running, the thread
begins by calling the APC function. Once the thread calls an APC function, it
calls the APC functions for all APCs in its APC queue.
When the thread is terminated using the ExitThread or TerminateThread function, the APCs in its APC queue are lost. The APC functions are not
called.
Note that the ReadFileEx and WriteFileEx functions are implemented using an APC as the completion notification
callback mechanism.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
