Implement Qt in Windows service

mr_einsa

Hello,

i have a question. Is it possible to implement the Qt Library into a windows service?
I dont talk about Gui i just wanna use some classes from then Qt lib. Somethink like QXML.dll or QFile.dll.

If it works, how i can implement a Qt Gui in this Service. I heared about some tricks that can work.

Very much thanks,

einsa

Of course that's possible, as with any other C++ program. Qt Solutions even offers an API for that: http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/qtservice/qtservice.html
