Hi,
I have created a service that logs errors to the NT application event log,
this bit currently works fine.
Within registry you can then specify the application/dll that will handle
the event log descriptions with the EventMessageFile parameter.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\W
atchDog]
"EventMessageFile"="D:\\Ben\\WorkingFolder\\Services\\Watchdog\\Watchdog.exe
"
This is supposed to build the description for the event based on the
EventID, and replace the default ugly windows message of
"The description for Event ID ( 71006 ) in Source ( Watchdog Service ) could
not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s):"
The problem I have is then getting the event log to pickup the correct
message form the application. What I have tried is to create a StringTable
in a resource file like below, but currently I have had no success and are
still getting the default message.
STRINGTABLE
{
71006, "My custom event message here"
}
If anyone can shed some light on how to do this it would be greatly
appreciated
Regards
Ben Vaughan
