Windows Service and application.DoEvents()Greeting folks!
This question has been asked before, but unfortunately never really been answeared. I would appreciate to get any clous on how to solve the problem: I am writing a windows service that interacts with the desktop. (It shows a status dialog if a user is currently logged on.) To get this dialog shown correctly I need to have something like an application.doevents() call in my service. Is there anything like that for use with such services? I would appreciate any help. Rick If you're service is a background service then it should be ok. How often &
for how long does the service interact with the Desktop?

The interaction should take place during this period of time. Currently if a user is logged on the windows appears on the users screen, but never gets the time to handle the draw event. (Means the frame is visible, the content isn't...)

This would avoid the problems introduced by services which interact with the desktop. -- M S Herfried K. Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://classicvb.org/petition/> |
