I am in the design stages for an application and have hit a stumbling block.
Essentially I would like to be able to run several independent applications on a PC as windows services.
The problem I have is that I'd like to write a generic GUI interface which can be used by the applications to display their status and any notifications raised.
I could write one app and thread off the other applications but I want to be able to install these applications seperately. Does anybody have any theories on how this might best be achieved. Ideally I'd like to start the GUI which can then query any running processes (of a certain type) and then hook into their messages and intercept their notifications??
