serviceStatus structure initialization : missing values

[pcreyssels]

I tried your example in , but setservicestatus (from advapi32.dll) return 0 and Get LastError = 13;
I tried to initiliaze serviceStatus.dwServiceType to 0x00000010(SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS) and serviceStatus.dwControlsAccepted = 0x00000000 and then it works

is it mandatory to use advapi32.dll in onstart() onstop() onpause() oncontinue() ?
why not use simply override with custom code as example :

Could you indicate the best initialization value for
dwServiceType, dwControlsAccepted, dwWin32ExitCode, dwServiceSpecificExitCode, dwCheckPoint
