Hi,

Thought whilst I was at it I'd post this question as well.

Has anyone managed to get a Windows Service to display a NotifyIcon 
successfully when a user logs on.

I have managed it in a roundabout fashion by starting a separate thread 
which creates a windows form that contains the notify icon.  I can also 
control whether the form is shown depending on the UserInteractive 
property.  (Once I'd twigged that the service had to be allowed to 
interact with the desktop!)

But to my mind this seems rather messy and has to have the form 
permanently in memory.  I was trying to create a service with the icon 
that can then create an instance of a form is required.  For admin tasks 
etc?

I would appreciate any ideas on how to get round this.  I have given up 
with my current app and now have a TCP connection listening for admin 
connections.  (Still using more resources though, but it does mean I can 
administrate the service from another machine.)

Regards,


Stuart Anderson.
