Hey, thanks for this. I ended up doing the same thing (translating an existing service from C++). But my code is messy, and I shall mine your example for improvements. :) I am *very* glad I could write this thing in D! One thing that bit me: if you want to use an extended Service Control Handler (RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx), these functions are absent from advapi32.lib (at least in my recent version of DMD). I had to include a linkage.def file, when linking, to get it working: EXETYPE NT IMPORTS RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerExA@12 = advapi32.RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerExA Cheers, Graham > > > On Tue, Feb 21, 2012, at 03:08 PM, Graham Fawcett wrote: >> Hi folks, >> >> I've got a Windows service that I'd like to write in D, if possible.
