Hi,
I am currently trying to set up a communications channel between a system service (Windows XP) and a GUI.
My first try was TSimpleIPC, with the server in the service (Global := True) and the client in the GUI. This seems not to work, the client always reports that the server would not be running ... looking at the source, this was not a surprise, as TSimpleIPCServer obviously creates some kind of hidden window to receive messages. On the other hand, TSimpleIPCServer instantiates successfully, indicating that this window *can* be created ...
Can anyone confirm if there is a chance of getting SimpleIPC to work in this configuration? If not, what means of communication would you suggest under these circumstances?
Thanks :-)
