To the best of my knowledge, CancelIoEx is supported since KERNEL32.DLL V6.0 (at least it does not seem to exist in XP SP3 / 5.1, although some Microsoft header files suggest otherwise). So, are Vista and Server 2008 the minimum requirements at present? However, if this would still be the only problem, it could be addressed pragmatically simply by not calling this function under earlier versions. This old thread suggests that it would work at least "good enough" to be usable: http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-382...l#pid34969 Of course, a better solution would be to modify the inter-thread communication model to "pre-6.0-methods", but obviously this would be more than a quick fix and therefore too much to ask for... Nevertheless, this article has a short section sketching down one way how it could possibly be done: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/176...operations Greetings, Matthias -- "Programs are poems for computers." |
