I need to start a child process and wait for the creation of a shared synchronization object (preferably a mutex or an event). I connect to these synchronization objects through OpenEvent or OpenMutex. This means that as long as this process is not created, the main program should be blocked. Right now, I use something like this:

Is GetLastError() sticky, i.e. the error code isn’t modified until an error actually happens ? Or do Win32-functions set the last error code to ERROR_SUCCESS (0) for any successful operation ?

I have a case where I need to load Win32 DLLs into a process. For dependencies of those DLLs, I need the ‘default search path’ to be in effect, which ends by searching the PATH environmental variable. However, I also need to have the directory of the parent library itself searched.

I’m looking to determine whether a window is minimized/maximized/neither, which can normally be done a few different ways:

This is sorta a repost but this covers different issues and problems than my old post.
