asked:
Has anyone worked out a simple way to communicate to a Windows Service using windows messaging. There appears to be a proprietary solution (Aldyn), but I don't want to go down that track at this stage.
Services are discouraged from interacting with
the UI (as they have to run without a user session so things get
tricky when they try to do foreground stuff) hence no Window handles to talk
to.
If you want to talk to a service, other forms of
IPC are best i.e. Mailslots, Named pipes, shared memory, etc. Named pipes
and Mailslots are handy since they are network transparent so you can talk to a
service instance on a remote server.
TTFN,
Paul.
