While creating a service you need to specify the flag
SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS or Open services.msc and goto the logon tab and check "Allow service to interact with desktop" checkbox.

You really should avoid showing ANY user interface in a Windows Service, they typically run when no one is logged in so there is no-one at the PC to either see the UI or use it.
Also, as a Service usually runs as a different user account to the currently logged on user they will not see the UI anyway, especially in Vista when they use a special desktop.

Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 no longer permit interactive UI on the user's desktop. More information[^].

DeleteString() Deletes a string from a list box.
DeleteItem Called by the framework when the user deletes an item from an owner-draw list box.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

you need to pass the index of the item you want to delete. you are passing the string itself which is not intended to be the parameter type to DeleteString()

Please, next time you have a problem like this, first make sure you have read the documentation on MSDN, it is clearly explained how you have to use the function.

1. Please use inline code button instead of your custom [code][/code] tags.
2. Use CListBox::DeleteString [^]to delete a list box item.

Hi,
I am writing one dialog application. In that i have two dialogs. In the first dialog i am having one button to call the second dialog. In that button code i am closing the first dialog and opening the second one. This is working fine. My problem is for the second dialog i have created task bar icon using ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_APPWINDOW. But i dont know how to create icon in task manager. Can any one solve this? Thanks in advance.

Does the MFC/some other icon shows alongwith your application name in the task manager?

Are you sure you changed both the 32x32 and 16x16 icons in your application

hi,
I am using it as
int lenA = ::WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, word, lenW, 0, 0, NULL, NULL);
where word is declared as CString
Thanx.

just a guess, what are you trying to do here ?
converting your CString object into a MultiBytes String ?
if so, why don't you just use CT2A() and such functions ?

I guess you don't need such call. See [^].

In general, if you need to convert from wide char to multi byte strings (or the opposite) means that you have a design issues. You should stick to TCHAR routines so that your code can be compiled with or without UNICODE. I suggest you read this excellent article[^], you'll learn a lot of very usefull stuff, and it is certainly not a waste of time.

I don't agree. There are many programs that need to deal with input in different encodings and it makes a perfect sense to convert all this text to Unicode before processing it.

Yes, I fully agree with you. But if you look closely at his question (and some others), and moreover the post from CPallini, then you can see that there is something wrong with his design. When you have a quite 'basic' application (MFC in this case) and only interact with the user through the UI, then in general (but again, there might be exceptions) you don't have to use a lot of string conversions. That's what I wanted to say (well, I agree, it was not very clear ). Anyway, reading the link I provided to him is always usefull.
