WMI defines INT8. At the same time I am using one library that defines INT8, and because of this I am getting redefinition error for INT8. I can not change the code either in WMI or in other library. But is there any other workaround for the same?

bool fCancel = false;

while (!fCancel)
{
   // check for cancel every 100 milliseconds
   if (WAIT_TIMEOUT != WaitForSingleObject( hFile, 100 )
   {
       (event was signaled - do some stuff)

HANDLE hCancel = ::CreateEvent(NULL, false, false, NULL);

#define EVENT_FILE  0
#define EVENT_CANCEL    1
HANDLE Events[] =
{
    hFile,

};
DWORD dwEventIndex = ::WaitForMultipleObjects(sizeof(Events) / sizeof(HANDLE),
                            Events, FALSE, INFINITE);

    some error occurred

if (dwEventIndex == EVENT_FILE)
