Hi, I am trying to develop Win logOn Notification for Vista. My RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx() successfully set my HandelrEx() function however I am not able to receive Lock, Logon and logoff events. Moreover as suggested I am also calling SetServiceStatus() with SERVICE_ACCEPT_SESSIONCHANGE in the dwControlsAccepted field of the SEVICE_STATUS struct. The only notification I am getting at the moment in my HandlerEx() fuction is SERVICE_STOPPED. I am using C# for development. Please help me.

If you're using C#, then using the .NET service classes should be easier... Override ServiceBase.OnSessionChange(). Mark

You mean not getting session change events in your service? If so, does this[^] help? Mark

I am using C++ with a generated code using VS2005 of Win32Service, so I call RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx() and SetServiceStatus() from within OnStart(). Thanks in advance for your help, Moshe
