Increasing MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS for WaitforMultipleObjects

Question

What is the simplest way to wait for more objects than MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS? MSDN lists this:

• Create a thread to wait on MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJEC

Answer 1

Have a look here.

If you need to wait on more than MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS handles, you can either create a separate thread to wait on MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS and then do a wait on these threads to finish. Using this method you can create MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS threads each of those can wait for MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS object handles.
