i am planning to run a launch/monitor a UI application using a windows service(written in C#).with “Allow service to interact with desktop ” checked. this works fine with windows xp, but with windows 7 a pop is shown as below
and when i click on view the message , then the whole screen blanks out,with only UI showing up ,as shown below.
is there any way to make it work without the message being shown and screen going blank.
comments/suggestions appreciated.
Regards
DEE
“Allow service to interact with desktop ” is a legacy option that is now highly discouraged, and although it exists, is not expected to work in Windows Vista and upwards.
You need to read a bit on why this is the case in this other SO answer:
Allow service to interact with desktop in Windows
Then look for the alternatives discussed in the answer here:
Alternative to "Allow service to interact with desktop"?
