I am creating an event with IoCreateNotificationEvent with the name
L"\BaseNamedObjects\EventX" into my WDM driver at open time. After that I
open the event into an MFC App by using OpenEvent(SYNCHRONIZE, FALSE,
“EventX”) and I wait on it. I then do a KePulseEvent into my driver and
everything works fine into my app (it unblocks). I then close my app
(without closing the event object), and the at that moment the event is
removed from \BaseNamedObjects directory. If I want to reopen it from my
app it is failing.
I tryed to open it twice into my driver (to simulate a increment refcount
of the event object) and it is not working.
The only workaround I found is to create the event at open time and to
delete it at close time if the refcount of the driver is 0. So I will be
recreated everytime someone open the driver.
Is this a bug ? Is there another better workaround ?
thanks
