ctCancelIO

Cancels a pending overlapped I/O operation. When the I/O command is canceled, the event will be signaled to show that the command has completed. The status will be set to the CitectSCADA error CT_ERROR_CANCELED. If the command completes before you can cancel it, ctCancelIO() will return FALSE, and GetLastError() will return GENERIC_CANNOT_CANCEL. The status of the overlapped operation will be the completion status of the command.

The CTAPI interface will automatically cancel any pending I/O commands when you call ctClose().

Syntax

ctCancelIO(hCTAPI, pctOverlapped)

hCTAPI

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE. If the function does not succeed, the return value is FALSE. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
