pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT11 Nov 2015 11:18:00 Z11 Nov 2015 10:12:00 ZHi all, I'm trying to create a simple background service that just waits for a socket connection from a client, accepts it and creates a thread for listening purposes to that client. Using the Debug Mode of windev makes it work like a charm, never skips a beat, but when i try to run the executable, after creating it through the wizard, it automatically goes to the closing event of the service, without even passing once in the "Running the service of NameOfMyService", which is the main event. Below there's the code that i wrote: //initializing ServiceHelloWorld CONSTANT SName = "ServerRF" Port = 2100 END IF SocketCreate(SName,Port) THEN SocketChangeTransmissionMode(SName,SocketNoEndTag) ELSE EndProgram("Errore di attivazione connessione") END //Running the service of ServiceHelloWorld IF SocketWaitForConnection(SName) THEN channel is string channel = SocketAccept(SName) IF channel <> "" THEN ThreadExecute(channel,threadNormal,WaitMessage,channel) ELSE Error(ErrorInfo()) END END Have i done something stupid? If so, sorry, i'm a newbie about services, so any help would be VERY appreciated30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/54902-wd20-background-service-executable/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)guestpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/54902-wd20-background-service-executablesolved-54908/read.awp11 Nov 2015 11:18:00 ZArie, Yeah, you were right, i've stupidly tried to run the exe straight away instead of installing it first...so, after creatin…https://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/54902-wd20-background-service-executablesolved-54908/read.awphttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/54902-wd20-background-service-executablesolved-54908/read.awp[WD20]Background Service Executableguestpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/54902-wd20-background-service-executable-54907/read.awp11 Nov 2015 11:06:00 ZYaku, are you sure it is running in the first place?
