A:
MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx puts the thread in an alertable wait state.
From MSDN on SleepEx:
A thread goes into an alertable wait state by calling either SleepEx, MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx, WaitForSingleObjectEx, or WaitForMultipleObjectsEx, with the function's bAlertable parameter set to TRUE.

Yeah, but MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx doesn't have a bAlertable parameter. Does it just go into alertable state by default?

@Ee Zz: To expand on that, the only difference (as far as I am aware) between MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx and MsgWaitForMultipleObjects is the former is alterable, thus no separate parameter or flag is needed.

A:
it is possible to enter into an alertable wait if you specify MWMO_ALERTABLE flag as the last parameter (dwFlags - the wait type)
