Logging received net send's info

[corneI]

Hi all,

I have setup SQl to send an net send to my PC to show the status of the sql jobs ie. Completed/Failed.

Now my PC gets over run with net sends. I need to log each net send for example :

Server Message

I have searched high and low for something to show how I can get to the above. Any ideas????

Thanks
Corne'

I found the following quote in another technical newsgroup:

"You can see what messages people have received in Event Viewer on their local PC, as all incoming messages are logged in the system log (Event Viewer, System Log, Application Popup, event ID 26)."

So, if this is true, you should be able to query the EventLog using Win32 APIs (declared in your VB app) and get the messages sent. You could set a timer and periodically poll for new ones.

Try looking to api's in order to 'Hook' the incoming net sends.

Net Send uses something called a 'mailslot' to communicate. It is possible to read mailslots from VB (takes a bit of API work); the one you are interested in is called 'messngr'
