I’m trying to figure out how to set up an event that could be carried into a child process. I need this in order to calculate the time it took for the parent process to communicate with the child process. The code I’ve got is here: http://pastebin.com/euVfSNeg
The problem is that when the app2.exe calls app3.exe nothing happens, because the event doesn’t get fired/listened (dont know which one is the case).
I need to figure this out ASAP as I’ve got to hand it in in a couple of hours.

Any help would be appreciated.

    The MSDN page says:

    lpEventAttributes A pointer to a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure. If
    this parameter is NULL, the handle cannot be inherited by child
    processes    .

    A child process created by the CreateProcess function can inherit a
    handle to an event object if the lpEventAttributes parameter of
    CreateEvent enabled inheritance

    And you’re passing NULL as the first argument.
