File Transfer as well as File Explorer work normally as a Windows Service,
since they do not require Forms on the Host side. There is nothing special
you have to do for this.

Chat obviously would not work if the Host is running as a pure Service
without desktop interaction and no Forms (at least, the user will not see
anything), but since a Host Service on Vista and Windows 7 are nothing more
than Host process launchers used to start Host processes by impersonating
the logged in user, nothing speaks against using Forms on the Host when it
is running this way. In other words, you could have a normal windowed Host
version even when you have the Host "launcher" installed as a Service, in
which case you would also have the Chat functionality from the Service
version of the Host.

How do these work:

- 0000479: [Host] Add the ability to Ask the host user for permission to
control (hdanzl)

[Control] Add the ability for a controller to leave a message on host
(hdanzl)

I was looking at the source for the apps and didn't see anything
different than the last version.

Thanks,

Ok, I found where everthing is.

So the ask permission thing only works when run as a app?
I am going to need it to show when the host is run as a service on XP as
well and have a timeout and send a message back to the controller
letting the user know what the user chose or if it timed out.

On XP and up there is a dialogbox function that has a timeout param that
would work for the timeout functionality.

Could you tell me where in the code the dialog is displayed to same me
some digging?

Thanks for adding these things by the way.


Thanks,

Tony
