Below C++ with Canon SDK is about 80% working. It can set exposure time, set ISO, take pictures and save it to camera's SD card. However, after picture is taken, the code cannot save picture to my computer. Code never reach "EdsError EDSCALLBACK handleObjectEvent...". For some reason, my camera seem can not trigger that even in my software. What could be wrong with my code?
My camera is EOS-80D, SDK version is "EDSDK-v13-12-1_for_Windows", my PC is using Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2019 Preview version.
I am pretty new to VC++, so please make correction on my code directly if possible. Really appreciate if any one can provide some hints. Thanks.

}
Within take_one_bulb_photo() function. Before the last line "EdsCloseSession(camera);" Add below code; such as
MSG msg;
GetMessage(&msg, NULL, NULL, NULL);
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
GetMessage(&msg, NULL, NULL, NULL);
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
GetMessage(&msg, NULL, NULL, NULL);
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
GetMessage(&msg, NULL, NULL, NULL);
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
It fix my issue.
