CloseThreadpoolWait function (threadpoolapiset.h)

Releases the specified wait object.

void CloseThreadpoolWait(
  [in, out] PTP_WAIT pwa
);

[in, out] pwa

A pointer to a TP_WAIT structure that defines the wait object. The CreateThreadpoolWait function returns this pointer.

None

The wait object is freed immediately if there are no outstanding callbacks; otherwise, the timer object is freed asynchronously after the outstanding callbacks complete.

In some cases, callback functions might run after CloseThreadpoolWait has been called. To prevent this behavior:

• Call the SetThreadpoolWait function or SetThreadpoolWaitEx function with the h parameter set to NULL.
• Call the WaitForThreadpoolWaitCallbacks function with the fCancelPendingCallbacks parameter set to TRUE.
• Call CloseThreadpoolWait.

If there is a cleanup group associated with the wait object, it is not necessary to call this function; calling the CloseThreadpoolCleanupGroupMembers function releases the work, wait, and timer objects associated with the cleanup group.

To compile an application that uses this function, define _WIN32_WINNT as 0x0600 or higher.
