Hi all,

I have a third-party windows forms application which broadcasts a
user-defined windows message.
I have to build a windows service which should receive and handle that
user-defined message.

Do you have any idea how to make the service receive the message?
Thank you,

Mircea,

>Do you have any idea how to make the service receive the message?

Write an application that runs on the interactive desktop and listens
for the broadcast message. Let is pass on the notification to the
service via some IPC mechanism.
