I have created a windows service. Under which I am creating a event "test". I want to use the same event object to be set/reset by my application. But I do not seem to get the Handle of the event object through my app. But can see the Event being listed in the BaseNamed objects.
I think I need to do something with the security Attribute of the create Event.
I am creating this event in my service
CreateEvent(NULL,
TRUE,
FALSE,
TEXT("Test"))
and using OpenEvent in my application.
OpenEvent( EVENT_ALL_ACCESS,
TRUE,
TEXT("Test"))
Please suggest what changes I would need to make, for my app to get the handle.
