Service Programming - How to tell if the current process is running as a Windows Service..
-
I'm writing a .DLL that's being used in both our Client and Server application. Is there a windows call I can use that will tell me if the current process is running as a windows service or not? Thnx. M.

Can't you use GetCurrentUser? I'm pretty sure that a service will default to LocalSystem, or such. I'm also pretty sure that it can do clever things like ImpersonateUser, etc, but you can't cover everything! Lastly, doesn't a service run from a different context, so GetDesktopWindow would fail? While not a black and white answer for you, I hope that helped. Iain.

You can check whether one of the parent processes of this process is
services.exe, user services are created via this process.Nibu babu thomas Microsoft MVP for VC++ Code must be written to be read, not by the compiler, but by another human being. Programming Blog: http://nibuthomas.wordpress.com
