## Windows async types
The [windows-future](https://crates.io/crates/windows-future) crate provides stock async support for Windows APIs.
Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:
```toml
[dependencies.windows-future]
version = "0.3"
```
Use the Windows async types as needed:
```rust
use windows_future::*;
// This result will be available immediately.
let ready = IAsyncOperation::ready(Ok(123));
assert_eq!(ready.join().unwrap(), 123);
let ready = IAsyncOperation::spawn(|| {
// Some lengthy operation goes here...
Ok(456)
});
assert_eq!(ready.join().unwrap(), 456);
```
