Opens a handle to the specified event log.

Code examples:

Reading entries from Event logs

Declaration:

HANDLE OpenEventLog(
	LPCTSTR lpUNCServerName,

	STRING lpSourceName

Parameters:

lpUNCServerName [in] The Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name of the server on which the event log is to be opened.
