Hello.

Would anyone be able to give me some (short) sample code showing how to use
the "ReadDirectoryChangesW" function (in "synchronous" mode.) I want to
monitor a single directory. There won't be many changes,in any given day,
to the directory being monitored.

My main lack of understanding lies with:

LPVOID lpBuffer,     // pointer to the buffer to receive the read results
DWORD nBufferLength, // length of lpBuffer


Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Rod.
