It's my first time to use named pipe and it turns out not so well.
When I call callnamedpipe() in my thread, it returns with error 0x00000002, that "system cannot find the specified file".
Does anyone know why this happen?
Thanks.

Not before looking at your code. However, the situation is usual.

Solution 1

Check the pipe name (first parameter) you're passing to the function. Have a look at this[^] sample code as well.
