There is nothing complicated about messages in most services applications. The standard Borland service unit runs a perfectly normal application message pump, and you can drop event drive components like ICS, timers, etc, onto the form and they just work, and you can post message to the form handle. I've used Wilfried's class for a recent project upgrade to avoid maintaining two separate applications. I did change it slightly since I don't want services running interactively, or at least I now have the same application running in the service and visible windows communicating with wsocket and socket server. And I've also tested it in Vista already. The main problem with Vista is going to be that even if you are logged on as administrator, applications are generally run without administrator rights. This causes lots of problems, for instance you can only install a service as an administrator, access the HLM keys ad admin, etc. There is a right menu option to run a program as an administrator, but then you can not pass command arguments. You can set the properties on a short cut to run as administrator, but you don't want to do that for install programs. So installing services is going to be fun under Vista. You can also supposedly set a manifest to run as admin, but it does not seem to work, nor do numerous Control Panel applets which lack admin rights, but Vista is still an early beta, many things are still broken.

The thing is that i'm not using the webserver as a "HTML provider" but much more like a HTTP provider. I'm sending and getting back XML files using a http server. i needed a convenient way to do the following : the client part of my application needs to send xml request. Some requests are sent through the internet to a PHP/MySQL http server that sends back a xml result. The thing is that this application might be run also in a "standalone" mode. that's why, instead of having several client interface, i have added to the client application a small http server that is used to handle all the requests... much easier way to proceed :) but thanks for the hint ! -- Guillaume MAISON eXpress Network Agen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 83, Cours Victor Hugo 47000 AGEN Tél : +33 5 53 87 91 48 Mobile : +33 6 30 14 91 23 Fax : +33 5 53 68 73 50 e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://nauteus.com Mon Profil sur Viaduc: http://www.viaduc.com/public/profil/?memberId=0021oz963uuea795 Vous inscrire sur Viaduc : http://www.viaduc.com/invitationpersonnelle/0021oz963uuea795 -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

Hm, as far as I recall the delphi service framework implements a service as a service thread of type TServiceThread. TServiceThread has it's own message pump (ProcessRequests) that processes messages from the SCM only.

Re: [twsocket] Postmessage in Service application
It is better to put a "main thread" in your service application and provide a message pump for it. Then is the rest of your application you consider this main thread with his hidden window handle as the form in your GUI application. > I have made an object of the complete server, so I can compile > it as a program or as a service application. Why not make your object self contained, that is make it as explained above: with a thread having a message pump. -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
