Test:<br />
<pre><code>import ctypes
def create_interrupt_event():
class SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES(ctypes.Structure):
_fields_ = [ ("nLength", ctypes.c_int),
("lpSecurityDescriptor", ctypes.c_void_p),
("bInheritHandle", ctypes.c_int) ]
sa = SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES()
sa_p = ctypes.pointer(sa)
sa.nLength = ctypes.sizeof(SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES)
sa.lpSecurityDescriptor = 0
sa.bInheritHandle = 1
return ctypes.windll.kernel32.CreateEventA(
sa_p, # lpEventAttributes
False, # bManualReset
False, # bInitialState
'') # lpName
print "firs call with success"
print create_interrupt_event()
print "second call fails"
print create_interrupt_event()</code></pre>
output:<br />
<pre><code>firs call with success
884
second call fails
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "create-event.py", line 22, in <module>
File "create-event.py", line 14, in create_interrupt_event
_ctypes.ArgumentError: expected LP_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, got LP_SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES</code></pre>
Workaround, move definition of the parameter structure to the module scope"</p></div><div class="footer"><p>You are receiving this email because you subscribed to notifications on CodePlex.</p><p>To report a bug, request a feature, or add a comment, visit <a href="http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic">IronPython Issue Tracker</a>.
