Queues a WoW64 user-mode Asynchronous Procedure Call (APC) on the specified thread.

Parameters

Remarks

To execute the APC, the thread must first enter an alertable wait via NtDelayExecution (or a similar function) or call NtTestAlert. Note that user APCs on the Native API level have three parameters in contrast with the Win32 APCs that only have one.

To specify the reserve object or use special user-mode APCs, see NtQueueApcThreadEx and NtQueueApcThreadEx2.

Note that user APCs on the Native API level have three parameters in contrast with the Win32 APCs that only have one.

Implementation details

This function uses Wow64EncodeApcRoutine and then calls NtQueueApcThread.
