Hi
Im writing a windows service appliction and need to write to the event log.
I have created a message resource (using Colin Wilsons resource editor)and
included it into application, Ive registered the application in the
registry..
with TRegistry.Create(KEY_READ or KEY_WRITE) do
try
RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
if OpenKey('SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\' +
Name, True) then
begin
WriteString('EventMessageFile', ParamStr(0));
WriteInteger('TypesSupported', 7)
end
finally
Free;
end;
Yet my event entries ( log.LogMessage('TIMER Initiated',
EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, 1, 3); ) still look like the following :
The description for Event ID ( 3 ) in Source ( JJM AutoSynch Service )
cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.
You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description;
see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the
event: TIMER Initiated.
Clearly, Im missing something and the help,well, doesnt.... could someone
post an example or explain what Ive missed off.
