StopWait procedure

Unit

acUtils

Declaration

procedure StopWait(var WaitHandle: THandle);

Description

The StopWait procedure used to send a signal to WaitHandle, so the program will continue its execution from next line after the call of Wait procedure.

The Wait and StopWait routines should be used instead "while something do Application.ProcessMessages;", to not utilize CPU time for long time, until some operation will be completed.

Original code

procedure StopWait(var WaitHandle: THandle);

begin

if (WaitHandle <> INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) and (WaitHandle <> 0) then

SetEvent(WaitHandle);

end;
