I read your posts but i am not absolutely convinced that he wants the exe to literally terminate, he just doesn't want to see it is there, not sure but i think he doesn't mean by that that the exe shouldn't be listed in task manager for example, he just doesn't want to see it on his desktop. But of course i might be wrong, if he really wants the exe to terminate that is indeed problematic...he could try to inject the dll into -i don't know- explorer.exe, start a thread and let it run there, but there has to be a better solution...

I agree the description is not overly clear.

Yes, he could study windows programming and learn what a dll is for.

This sounds back to front to me, assuming I understand the question. The exe file is the application that should be doing most of the work, while the dll portion supplies extra functions that are called on request. In any case you cannot leave a dll function running after the caller (exe) terminates. You may need to review your design.

- It is the DLL which should do all work
- the EXE should call the DLL which is a graphic interface
- the EXE call an exported function from the DLL only
- when i exit from the DLL all work is finished.
i hope that i explained more my situation.

I recapitulate all problem with:
i will have two files :
- EXE : just lunch the DLL and disappear
- DLL : called with its exported function (it is done) and it has the style of window and will do all work
and when i quit this window(exit from DD) is weening that my all application exit
the problem is when i lunch the EXE file my window(the DLL) appears and disappears quickly and i need it to stay until i exit from it !
So how can i do this ?
can i use a console application which lunch the DLL and still waiting? or there is an other solution

As I said in my previous reply, you are doing this the wrong way round. The main work of any application is done in the exe file not the dll. You cannot leave a dll running after the exe terminates; it makes no sense to do things this way.

Not possible, otherwise DLLs could just start by themselves.

Remember that on Vista/Win7 then services are running in their own session. When starting the UI application then it must be running in the user-session.
Have feeling that it is better that it is user that starts the UI application (Maybe as a process started at user-login). The UI can then contact the service through whatever communication form you like. Namedpipes might be a good way.

How does the worker thread fills the list (I hope it just sends meesages and leave the UI updating task to the UI thread...)?

No surprise there. The worker thread should not be interacting with any UI control that it does not own. It should use PostMessage() instead.

Hello,
I had made an application which trapped WM_QUERYSESSION to block SHUTDOWN and LOGOFF in Windows XP. When Trying to port this solution on VISTA/WINDOWS 2008/Windows 7 I need to call additional methods namely ShutdownBlockReasonCreate() , ShutdownBlockReasonDestroy() which is defined in winuser.h for VISTA. After installing VS 2005 and upgrading it for windows VISTA by SP1 , I am still not getting ShutdownBlockReasonCreate () in windows vista winuser.h. Please let me know where am I doing things wrong .
Regards,

In the *.cpp files where you call these functions paste somewhere at the beginning (but after #include stdafx.h):
BOOL WINAPI ShutdownBlockReasonDestroy(
__in HWND hWnd
);
BOOL WINAPI ShutdownBlockReasonCreate(
__in HWND hWnd,
__in LPCWSTR pwszReason
);
