Programming Services in C++
I need a way to change the service parameters like SERVICE_EXIT_CODE value to 2 other than 0.
Plz see the description below.
In command prompt by typing
sc query themes
Displays:
SERVICE_NAME: themes
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
STATE : 4 RUNNING
(STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
I want to change these parameters(ex: WIN32_EXIT_CODE value to -223 or any other value).
FYI: (There is a structure SERVICE_STATUS which takes care of these values.)
I need a program in C++ to achieve it.

The service exit code is the return value of an service when terminating. The service can set it to the SERVICE_STATUS structure associated with the service by calling SetServiceStatus passing the handle to the updated structure. If you would write 2 or -223 to the dwCurrentState member of that structure, the Service Control Manager surely would reflect that status.
Can u plz send me the code to do that.
Thanks
