The result of the asynchronous operation can be obtained by calling XAsyncGetStatus inside the AsyncBlock callback or after the AsyncBlock is complete. If the achievement has already been unlocked or the progress value is less than or equal to what is currently recorded on the server, then XAsyncGetStatus() inside the callback will return HTTP_E_STATUS_NOT_MODIFIED (0x80190130L).
