capturing windows messages in window service application

Hello.

I am tryring to find a way to capture some of the windows messages ( eg.
messages for creating, deleting files ) in c#.

In windows application, i can override wndProc method to capture OS's
messages but in windows service application, i don't have the access to
that.

is there a way to access windows api(wndProc) directly to this?

Thanx in advance

This is long. Bear with me, as I will really go through all the convoluted stuff that shows there is a problem with streams (at least when used to redirect stdout). The basic idea is that my application (VB.NET) will start a process, redirect its stdout and capture that process' output, displaying it in a window. I've written a component for this, and a test application for the component. It allows me to specify a command to execute,...

I am trying to write a program that I hope to get working as a command-line app to start with, and then eventually use a windows service wrapper to call it as a service. Its purpose is to attach to an already running (not ours) service using an API DLL, where it will do houskeeping and monitoring tasks. This is where it all gets strange. Although I can make calls into the API and do things proactively, when I register a callback for...

Hello all, Wonder what approach is used for this problem. I have a MDIApplication, the MDIClinets are to be in a seperate thread. So I've done something like this, // Create a new Show method that starts a new thread public new void Show() { Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ThreadProc));

I wonder can anyone reccomment a solution to this problem. Let me explain, I've services running on my system, my application receives diagnostic messages from these services, what i want to do is create an MDIChild window for each service that is sending messages. Ok so far so good, but I get problems if one service is constantly sending messages to it's window because, this window is very busy updating it's view, hence because it's...

I wrote have 2 possible startup projects to make the service work. One...

I am trying to capture the Windows Authenticated username, but I want to be able to capture the login name that exists in IIS, not Windows. In order to enter my company's intranet through the internet, they have to login. I want to be able to capture that login versus their Windows login because I need to know who they are from any computer rather than only their computer. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
