Is it possible to use overlapped I/O with an anonymous pipe? CreatePipe() does not have any way of specifying FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED, so I assume ReadFile() will block, even if I supply an OVERLAPPED-structure.

No. As explained here, anonymous pipes do not support asynchronous I/O. You need to use a named pipe. There's example code to do this on MSDN here and here.

Here is an implementation for an anonymous pipe function with the possibility to specify FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED. If the link should die in the future search the net for MyCreatePipeEx.
Steve Hanov : Thanks! That's just what I needed.
