ServiceMill Control is an OCX that converts Visual Basic and Delphi applications into Windows NT services fast and effortlessly. You can use this intuitive ActiveX™ Control for seamless service management.
One major benefit of this software is that it allows you to run your application with maximum security without requiring a user session. Not only that, but ServiceMill Control supports a native Windows NT service, with all Service Manager calls converted to service events - this includes Start, Stop, Pause, Shutdown, Control(PrivateCode), and more.
Thread safety is also a feature of ServiceMill Control. All calls implemented into your program are made through the main thread of the process; additionally, Windows 95 and Windows 98 are supported, allowing simulation of the Windows NT service manager when operating under their environment.
In order to make using this software even easier, all required methods necessary for installing, uninstalling, and controlling services are included. ServiceMill Control even grants required Windows NT privileges to a user account configured to start the service, and provides event log support, allowing your application to report informative reports or error messages to the Windows NT event log.
Another advantage of ServiceMill Control is that it is incredibly easy to test and debug, as it simulates the Windows NT service manager at design time. Lastly, Intel and Alpha support is available, including Visual Basic for Alpha - this software is incredibly versatile and suited for a wide range of users.
