I have a Windows Service that should pop a windows form right before logoff,
for the user to enter some information.
I got things working fairly well except that the user does not get to see
the form before logoff. But I know that it run properly because when I log
back in the form is there and works fine.
So the form opened and run, but windows was already in the "logoff" screen
with no desktop showing, so I missed the form.
Is there any way for a Service to capture the logoff before windows actually
logsoff? Or is there any better way to pop a form that the user needs to fill
out before they logoff?
Thanks

This link may give an example to implement something. http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/sy...ntshandler.asp
The Windows application should be doing this if possible to prevent logoff,
until data has been entered in the application.
Maybe you can do something with the Windows O/S Group Policy to run the
program during logoff. I think you can run a logoff script using a Group
Policy, use Google look it up.
A Windows Service application popping-up some Windows form should not be in
the picture, IMHO.
I think that article might help. Thanks.
I did try this as a script and I got the same problem. That is why I gave
the service a try. It seemed easier to install and uninstall.
I am curious, why do you think that: "A Windows Service application

This is my take on a NT Service application, below. But that's not to say
that a Windows application cannot communicate with a NT Service
application.. But have a NT service application that it's sole purpose is to
pop a screen to the user, which in your case, may be too late, I would find
other means.
That's just me. It's your solution and you do what you have to do to make it
work. http://www.commsoft.com/services.html This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

When to use a privileged user thread rather than a windows service?
That's the question raised in a previous post . It was suggested that if the service needs to interact

used in the UI - no service required.

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was
running?
We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this
service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped
or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running.
I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the
same service on another machine.

Hi,
I've created a simple Windows Service that starts an .exe with
Process.Start(). However, I've noticed that when I logoff from one
user account to another the child process (.exe) is shutdown (although
the service is still running). This behaviour makes my Windows service
useless, as all the hard work is done by the .exe (not written in C#).
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Cheers,
