Sorry to bring up Windows 98 here, but this group is my last resort -
everything else has resulted in a dead end.
Let’s say my service application is started with DETACHED_PROCESS, and I
need to display a message to the screen. In NT/2K/XP, I can simply open a
new desktop with OpenDesktop, et al. However, those APIs are not supported
in Windows 98 and I cannot seem to find a way to that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Neil
I could be wrong, but something is hiding in your question !!!
First win98 has only one desktop !. Your service is not quite the way nt
services are !.
It might be possible to shoot straight a MsgBox using NULL param for the
handle, dont remember otherwise you are in for finding the only desktop
handle, and Mat Patriek’s book must have details in it.
