I was wondering if there is a way to turn a service on or off with a vb6 program? I frequently have to turn on and off one of my services.( actually pause and resume) I wont go into details. I know it can be done with vb.net 2003, because ive seen it done. but i dont have that. i just have the old school vb6. If someone could post some snippets of the code that does this, that would be great. Then i can take it from there and design the form to my likings. (I tried to make a batch file in xp to do this, but for some reason it doesnt like the CHOICE command.)Just for the heck of it i attached my batch file, so you can get an idea of what id like todo in vb6.
