<div> </div>
<div>The easy way is to simply poll every second and to sleep between polling cycles.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is there a win32 technique that works from XP forward that might be a better choice? And/or are there issues with a simple polling technique that I should be aware of?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
