I have an MFC application that uses an ActiveX Control to communicate to external hardware. &nbsp;The control uses windows messages and events to send and receive data from the hardware.<br />
<br />
I have written services before, but I can't seem to get any windows messaging to happen in a service. &nbsp;So that is my question, how do I get the application to use windows messages while running as a service.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Application with ActiveX control and Windows Messaging as a service.

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
