Interface to MS Windows Event objects.

Requires the win32-ipc library.

gem install win32-event

  Win32::Event.new("Foo") do |event|
    event.set
    # Do stuff
    event.reset
  end

  e2 = Win32::Event.open("Bar")
  # Do stuff
  e2.close

The event.rb file contains inline RDoc documentation. If you installed this file as a gem, then you have the docs.

The Event class is a subclass of Win32::Ipc (win32-ipc). This library require's the win32-ipc library internally (you don't need to explicitly call it).

A PulseEvent() wrapper is intentionally omitted. From the MSDN web site: "This function is unreliable and should not be used. It exists mainly for backward compatibility."

The Win32::Event Perl module by Chris Madsen was used as a general guideline for developing the API.

None that I'm aware of. Please submit any bug reports to the project page at https://github.com/djberg96/win32-event.
