Breaking ReadFile() blocking – Named Pipe (Windows API)

by

Try this before ReadFile :

BOOL WINAPI PeekNamedPipe(
  __in       HANDLE hNamedPipe,
  __out_opt  LPVOID lpBuffer,
  __in       DWORD nBufferSize,
  __out_opt  LPDWORD lpBytesRead,
  __out_opt  LPDWORD lpTotalBytesAvail,
  __out_opt  LPDWORD lpBytesLeftThisMessage
);

if(TotalBytesAvail > 0)
  ReadFile(....);
