Try Application.LogMessage(...); In a service app, application is TServiceApplication and it support event logging - mostly.

(and Event Logging) We used Delphi4 C/S to write a NT Service which also used Event Logging. The new components worked but there seems to be no support for the event logging side which is a shame because event logging goes hand in hand with services. Many man hours were spent on our small solution and really the hardest part was understanding microsofts documentation ;-( and then in realising that Borland were only giving a helping hand and not a solution with their components. regards Tony Goodrich -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Coulter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Multiple recipients of list delphi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, 7 May 1999 13:58 Subject: [DUG]: NT Services and D4 Proff. >Hi all. > >I was looking up about NT Services in the D4 help file, and it gave an >example of how to create one. >Now only the C/S version has the ability to create an NT Service Application >from the File New menu. > >But I noticed that the files defined in the example existed on my machine, >so I tried it out, but had no success. > >Has anyone been able to create an NT Service with D4 using the new units >etc. that are provided to assist in creating NT Services ???? > > >Cheers, Jeremy Coulter >-------------------------------------------------------------------------- - > New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz
