WaitForSingleObject crashes too fast

I have this piece of code in a secondary stream:

DWORD result = WaitForSingleObject(myhandle,10000);
if(result == WAIT_OBJECT_0){
    AfxMessageBox(_T(...));
}
else if(result  == WAIT_TIMEOUT){

    AfxMessageBox(_T("Timeout"));
}

Sometimes, not always, a timeout will be called almost immediately after calling WaitForSingleObject (not even a delay of 1 s).

Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions for more stable alternatives?

EDIT:

myhandle is created inside the class constructor as:

myhandle = CreateEvent(NULL,FALSE,FALSE,_T("myhandle"));

it will be called by another function:

SetEvent(myhandle);

The fact is that this works when I do a SetEvent, the problem is that it sometimes expires as soon as WaitForSingleObject is called, although it should wait 10 seconds.

The time came, but in fact the problem was that the program sometimes made several calls to WaitForSingleObject. So this is the previous call that is disconnected.

If you want to always wait 10 seconds, you should use this code:

//Always wait 10 seconds
Sleep(10000); 

//Test the event without waiting
if(WaitForSingleObject(myhandle, 0) == WAIT_OBJECT_0) {
    AfxMessageBox(_T("Event was set in the last 10 secondes"));
} else {
    AfxMessageBox(_T("Timeout"));
}
