Can a single SetEvent() trigger multiple WaitForSingleObject()

Question

Would seem to suggest not.

I have three processes communicating via pipes. Process A Creates an event, Process B & C each use WaitForSingleObject (in a second thread).

So now we have -TWO- Processes each waiting for a -SINGLE- event.

Process A fires the event with SetEvent(), Process B responds, process C does not.

Conclusion:

Each WaitForSingleObject() requires a unique Event... Correct?

Use manual reset events to trigger multiple threads off of a single event.

Here is an example which uses "Manual Reset Event" flag
