hi!

i have a win32 console application. is there any method or is it possible to convert it to win32 based application.

thanks in advance,
jaro

Hi jaro,

Welcome to the GID Forums™.

Win32 console applications are win32 based applications.

Do you mean Windows GUI applications?
What language do you use? C or C++?
What compiler do you use?

I think there is no direct method to convert console apps to windows apps.
We have to write different coding.

Best Regards,
Paramesh.

well it is not a gui application.
i use C
i'm using MVC 6.


basically the module was given/turnover to me, what it(server) does is listens to a client and will display the message of the client.
i was ask to change it, now instead of displaying the message to a command console(?) , the message will now be written to a file. Now I've done the function that will write the message to a file. Now the problem is that everytime i try to run the program,the command window always shows up.
And also they want this program to be also run as a windows service.


i've tried to change the project setting to a win32 application but i always get this message:

i'm new at C and still trying to get a hang of this...

That's because you tried to compile it as a Win32 but didn't change the code. Keep it a console app.

This is how I set up a service a few years ago. It should still work fine.

• Place a copy of SRVANY.EXE in the C:\WINNT directory.
• Install as a service by running INSTSRV YourProgramName C:\WINNT\SRVANY.EXE
• Under Control Panel:Services:YourProgramName choose Startup as Automatic and choose Log On As System Account and Do Not Allow Service to interact with Desktop
• Start the registry editor
• Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\YourProgramName create a Parameters key
• Under the Parameters key, create an Application value and enter the full path of the YourProgramName executable (including the extension).

You'll have to find SRVANY.EXE in your system or off the web
