WakeUp-Event and Programm hangs

[verenadoll]

Hello NG,

i use the following code to check if the device wakes up. It works
fine, but when i close the programm the process will not be
terminated. in the task manager the programm is listed as "background
process".

Whats wrong with the code.

Thanks and regards, Verena

There are a load of things there I'd do differently, but the one causing the
problem is the call to WaitOne in a worker thread. WaitOne is a blocking
system call, and your thread will live until it gets released. As a general
rule, you should *never* call WaitOne without a timeout value. Adding a
timeout would allow the thread to unblock and the scheduler to let it die.
