Hi! I am using WaitForSingleObject from (kernel32.dll) in my program. It is working fine on 32bit Windows XP, but when I use it on 64bit WindowsXP, it is not working. The problem is that it doesn't wait for the process and control moves forward. Does anyone have any idea on why? Is there any replacement for that method in WinXP 6...
I already spent whole day to trouble shoot this problem, but no luck yet. In my project, I set the Use of ATL property to Static Link to ATL on the General property page and set the Runtime Library property to Multi-threaded (/MT) on the Code Generation property page (C/C++ folder).

It gets updated as various databases are opened during the creation of the data module (just before the main form is created). The problem is that we have a check for the existence of certain things that is done during the creation of the data module. If...
My Win32 console applicaton uses a third-party library. After it exits WinMain global objects destruction begins and an AV happens somewhere deep inside. I'm really tempted to just write TerminateProcess( GetCurrentProcess(), 0 ); somewhere near the end of WinMain. If I do this the application ends gracefully. But MSDN says that doin...
