How to send a custom message with a param to a win32 service?

How to send a custom message with a param to a win32 service?: Posted by codemagic on July 31st, 2004; Hi,

I've never written a service before and need to know the best way to
pass a custom parameter to it. Basically I just need my service to
launch the URL of a web page that I send it from another app running on
the same PC.

Thanks for any help,

CreateNamedPipe, then ReadFile and WriteFile provide the communication.

A more lightway solution is mailslots... especially useful for intra-PC
communications.
