Using MFC in an NT service

Howdy all,

MSVC 4.0
WinNT 3.51 SP4

I am writing a service that uses MFC 4.0 extended classes in it (CString,
and CTime)

It seems, then when the service gets the stop message, and I do a "return"
from the ServiceMain function.  The App just dies...
Process stays in memory, but no longer running.

The app was created with MSVC 4.0 as a console app, and I changed the
General Settings to use MFC in a static library.

A while ago, I also tried this, but made a CWinApp based service.  It
worked, but the same thing happens, never returns after
StartServiceCtrlDispatcher is done.

Anyone know something magic about services  and MFC?

Thanks,
-David

p.s. Currently the source is nothing specific, the service just writes the
time to a text file every 10 seconds...  So if need be, I can upload the
source.  In total it is 100 lines.

You may want to take a look at the freeware Win32 Foundation Classes
(WFC) class library. It has a couple of classes that deal with services;
CService (handles the worker thread) and CServiceControlManager (handles
installing/removing/starting/stopping/etc). At the very least you can see
how
the source code works.

Hope this helps,
