Mode for sharing the events

In shareUser mode, the event is shared between all the applications of the session of the user who runs the application.
  • The event is created by the first application of the session of the user who calls EventCreate.
  • The following applications that call EventCreate connect to the existing semaphore.
  • The last application that is closed destroys the event.
  • An event with the same name cannot be used by a session of another user on the same computer: the system returns an error of access rights.
In shareGlobal mode, the event is shared among all the applications found on the computer.
  • The event is created by the first application that calls EventCreate.
  • The following applications that call EventCreate connect to the existing semaphore.
  • The last application that is closed destroys the event.
