Sander,
Thanks, I understand it. For each vm system thread that waits for directory
change
events, we can launch a host thread.
Another way is not to use the vbox mechanism, instead, using tcp/ip
communication between host and vm, but this won't work if networking is
disabled. This is how
Let me clarify this a bit more on the blocking case. Inside the guest
you need to create a (kernel) thread that calls the host HGCM service
and waits for an answer, which it will get when the host service detects
a directory change. As the host service is single threaded, you need to
create a s
There's is no such reversed callback mechanism for HGCM. You'd either
have to poll or make a guest thread block in a wait for directory change
HGCM call. The latter
is not that easy as an HGCM client is single threaded.

Are there any APIs that can invoke vm's functions from host (opposite to
VbglHGCMCall which does vm to host calls)?
I am trying to implement directory change notification features on windows
shared folders. Basically, when files change in a host folder, I want the host
to invoke a callback func
