how to create a service and run in service control panel

[gomathipriya]

Hi,

I used the following code to create a new service in visual c++6.0. while i am running it (using ctrl+F5) it doesnot shows any output.

// sample.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
 
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Windows.h"
#include "Winsvc.h"
#include "time.h"
#include "stdio.h"
 
SERVICE_STATUS m_ServiceStatus;
SERVICE_STATUS_HANDLE m_ServiceStatusHandle;
BOOL bRunning=true;
void WINAPI ServiceMain(DWORD argc, LPTSTR *argv);
void WINAPI ServiceCtrlHandler(DWORD Opcode);
BOOL InstallService();
BOOL DeleteService();
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  if(argc>1)
  {
    if(strcmp(argv[1],"-i")==0)
    {
      if(InstallService())
        printf("\n\nService Installed Sucessfully\n");
      else
        printf("\n\nError Installing Service\n");
    }
    if(strcmp(argv[1],"-d")==0)
    {
      if(DeleteService())
        printf("\n\nService UnInstalled Sucessfully\n");
      else
        printf("\n\nError UnInstalling Service\n");
    }
    else
    {
      printf("\n\nUnknown Switch Usage\n\nFor Install use Srv1 -i\n\nFor UnInstall use Srv1 -d\n");
    }
  }
  else
  {
    SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY DispatchTable[]=
                {{"Service1",ServiceMain},{NULL,NULL}};
    StartServiceCtrlDispatcher(DispatchTable);
  }
  return 0;
}
 
void WINAPI ServiceMain(DWORD argc, LPTSTR *argv)

  DWORD specificError;
  m_ServiceStatus.dwServiceType = SERVICE_WIN32;

    return;
  }
  m_ServiceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_RUNNING;
  m_ServiceStatus.dwCheckPoint = 0;
  m_ServiceStatus.dwWaitHint = 0;
  if (!SetServiceStatus (m_ServiceStatusHandle, &m_ServiceStatus))
  {
  }
 
  bRunning=true;
  while(bRunning)
  {
    Sleep(3000);
    //Place Your Code for processing here....
  }
  return;
}
 
void WINAPI ServiceCtrlHandler(DWORD Opcode)
{
  switch(Opcode)
  {
    case SERVICE_CONTROL_PAUSE: 
      m_ServiceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_PAUSED;

      break; 
  }
  return;
}
 
BOOL InstallService()
{
  char strDir[1024];
  HANDLE schSCManager,schService;
  GetCurrentDirectory(1024,strDir);
  strcat(strDir,"\\Srv1.exe"); 
  schSCManager = OpenSCManager(NULL,NULL,SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS);
 
  if (schSCManager == NULL) 
    return false;
  LPCTSTR lpszBinaryPathName=strDir;
 
  schService = CreateService(schSCManager,"Service1",

     NULL); // no password
 
  if (schService == NULL)
    return false; 
 
  CloseServiceHandle(schService);
  return true;
}
 
BOOL DeleteService()
{
  HANDLE schSCManager;
  SC_HANDLE hService;
  schSCManager = OpenSCManager(NULL,NULL,SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS);
 
  if (schSCManager == NULL)
    return false;
  hService=OpenService(schSCManager,"Service1",SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS);
  if (hService == NULL)
    return false;
  if(DeleteService(hService)==0)
    return false;
  if(CloseServiceHandle(hService)==0)
    return false;
 
return true;
}

what i missed here. i couldn't see the service1 in service control panel. how to resolve it.

thanks in advance
