There are two Event types in WinNT:
  • NotificationEvent
    •     Known also as manual-reset event. Caller decide about state of event. You can use     NtClearEvent or NtResetEvent to put Event Object into non-signaled state.
  • SynchronizationEvent
    •     Known as auto-reset event. This type automatically change his state to non-signaled after releasing any (but only one) waiting thread.


    To check what type of event do you have, use     NtQueryEvent.
