Hi,

Does somebody know how to start / stop and get a status of a 'windows

service' using MFC (or win32 api)?

Regards,

Ram.

In article <eiUJzyWSEHA.2236@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl>,

ram_ba_ruch@newsgroups.nospam says...

StartService, StopService and QueryServiceStatus. You might also

want to look at ControlService.

int StartService(LPSTR sService)

{

SC_HANDLE hSCM = OpenSCManager( "", SERVICES_ACTIVE_DATABASE,

SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS );



if( !hSCM ) {

CloseServiceHandle(hSCM);

return 0;

}



SC_HANDLE hService = OpenService( hSCM, sService, SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS );

if( hService ) {

BOOL b = ::StartService( hService, 0, NULL );

}



CloseServiceHandle(hService);

CloseServiceHandle(hSCM);



return 1;



}
