Re: WaitForSingleObject does not wait

Here is my code. It pops up a message box with text "Wait object". But I can
still see the dialog box of that process.

DWORD createProcess(CString applicationPath, CString parameter) {
    STARTUPINFO startupInfo;
    ZeroMemory(&startupInfo, sizeof(startupInfo));
    startupInfo.cb = sizeof(startupInfo);

    PROCESS_INFORMATION processInfo;
    ZeroMemory(&processInfo, sizeof(processInfo));

    DWORD returnCode = 0;

    parameter = applicationPath + _T(' ') + parameter;

    if (!CreateProcess(
        NULL,
        parameter.LockBuffer(),
        NULL,
        NULL,
        FALSE,
        0,
        NULL,
        NULL,
        &startupInfo,
        &processInfo)) {
        returnCode = GetLastError();
    }

    parameter.UnlockBuffer();

    switch (WaitForSingleObject(processInfo.hProcess, INFINITE)) {
        case WAIT_ABANDONED:
            AfxMessageBox(_T("Wait abandoned"));
        break;
        case WAIT_TIMEOUT:
            AfxMessageBox(_T("Wait timeout"));
        break;
        case WAIT_OBJECT_0:
            AfxMessageBox(_T("Wait object"));
        break;
        case WAIT_FAILED:
            AfxMessageBox(_T("Wait failed"));
        break;
    }

    CloseHandle(processInfo.hThread);
    CloseHandle(processInfo.hProcess);

    // zero if success
    // non-zero if fail
    return returnCode;
}

It does. Chances are that your code is wrong.
