Apr 11, 2011. Important note. Starting from Windows Vista interactive services are prohibited by Microsoft. Service application can not show forms even if it is marked as Interactive. SvCom suggests a workaround that allows to easily communicate with user from service application. Read more about this opportunity

P.S. 11.06.2000 - One more interactive service example published. It has much more features, including some advanced capabilities, such as:

• Logoff/logon survive
• Tray icon showing
• Multiple forms creation
• Interactive user detection

In this example we shall consider interactive services.

1. Creating new SvCom service application - it is exactly the same as the step 1 of the Simple NT Service example. Save your project as SvComExample3.dpr
2. Adding new service module - this step is the same as the step 2 of the Simple NT Service example. Set the name of service to 'SampleService3' and display name to 'SvCom Example N 3'.
3. Declaring service as interactive.
4. Creating a service form.
5. Testing.
