Native C++ equivalent of ManualResetEvent from C#

Question

What's the equivalent methodology of ManualResetEvent in native C++.

Although the below page gives some APIs for C++, it seems to be valid for C++\CLI, and Windows Runtime scenarios only.

My Operating System is Windows 8 (x64). IDE: Visual Studio 2012. I am working on a Windows application which has three layers: C#, C++\CLI, and C++ native. I required this feature in C++ native.

Even though I currently need it only for Windows environment, it would be useful to know solution even for the Linux environment.

You can use CreateEvent to create an event object that you later signal with SetEvent and reset with ResetEvent. You can use a wait function to wait on an event object.
