it is possible to enter into an alertable wait if you specify MWMO_ALERTABLE flag as the last parameter (dwFlags - the wait type)

MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx puts the thread in an alertable wait state.

From MSDN on SleepEx:

A thread goes into an alertable wait state by calling either SleepEx, MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx, WaitForSingleObjectEx, or WaitForMultipleObjectsEx, with the function's bAlertable parameter set to TRUE.
