Description

Interface to MS Windows Event objects.

Prerequsites

Requires the win32-ipc library.

gem install win32-event

Synopsis

  Win32::Event.new("Foo") do |event|

Documentation

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

Notes

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."

Acknowledgements

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