Message from a "Service" in vista

[Subrat Patnaik]

Hi, in operating systems prior to windows vista a service could easily send message to desktop as they both shared the same session. but in windows vista services run in console session 0, hence it is not possible to send a message to desktop, as the message remains in the terminal session without being displayed on desktop. this is all due to session 0 isolation mae in windows vista. as specified, now in order to send a message to desktop we have to use the API "WTSSendMessage" and also use the "WTSEnumerateSession" to find out which console session are active. can i get some help on how to implement these functions to be able to send a message to the desktop successfully?? :doh:

There's tons of articles floating around about this... But why not use a better IPC[^] method than messages? Mark
