Starting a Interactive Process in Vista using TService

[Dezipaitor]

Zitat von Tyrael Y.:

You can´t start a GUI application from a service in Vista.

To display GUI from service you must start a non visible application with the service and this application have to start the GUI elements.

If you need data of interaction you have to implement communication between service and non-visible application e.g. TCP.



[Service] <------> [Non-Visible-App] <------> [GUI-App]

1. You can't directly display a gui in a service. Actually Vista displays a service gui in a seperate desktop. This will change and make it useless.
2. You dont need an invisible app
3. MessageBox with MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION works as a display.

The correct image is this:

[Service] <---- communication protocol (TCP, Pipe, Shared Memory...) ---> [Gui-App in a seperate process, started by service or user]
