Hi all!

I know, a windows service is platform specific and therefore not in this forum (until now).

But does anybody know, if it is (or should be) possible to create a windows service with ulitmate++ - and how to start?

We want to use U++ for all our new (or updated) applications in future - so now we have to re-develop an existing service application - and we want to do it with U++.

I would be happy, if someone can point me to a piece of code or other useful information about this topic.

Thank you in advance,

WebChaot.

We found a solution! If someone is interested, here is the code:

	"Windows service C++ implementation based on MSDN sample by Nigel Thompson (Microsoft 
	Developer Network Technology Group) November 1995"
