How to stop/start NT services from CVI?

[peter.weichel@tellabs.com]

I would like to manage a NT Service from CVI application has anyone tried this ?
Maybe i must use SDK but are there a command line program capable of above ??

Hello Peter,
You are correct in assuming that CVI does not provide functions for starting and stopping services. The two common ways of handling this are to use the command-line "net" program ("net start " for example) or the Microsoft Platform SDK function StartService(). Please see http://www.msdn.microsoft.com >> Platform SDK >> Base Services >> DLLs, Processes, and Threads >> Services >> Service Functions for further information on programmatically controlling services.
