\title An Interactive Service
This example implements a service with a simple user interface.
Services are usually non-interactive console applications. User
interaction, if required, is usually implemented in a separate,
normal GUI application that communicates with the service through
an IPC channel. For simple communication,
QtServiceController::sendCommand() and QtService::processCommand()
may be used, possibly in combination with a shared settings
file. For more complex, interactive communication, a custom IPC
channel should be used, e.g. based on Qt's networking classes.
However, although not recommended in the general case, in certain
circumstances a service may provide a GUI
itself. This is typically only possible if the service process is run as
the same user as the one that is logged in, so that it will have
access to the screen. Note however that on Windows Vista, service
GUIs are not allowed at all, since services run in a
diferent session than all user sessions, for security reasons.
This example demonstrates how to subclass the QtService class, the use of
start(), stop(), pause(), resume(), and how to use
processCommand() to receive control commands while running.
