User Interactable Windows Services

Typically Windows service application are not able to interact with user directly, cause it simply cannot display GUI. Read this page for more details.

However, as documented in that page, a service can interact with user indirectly. The solution is to launch a separate process in user session and communicate with that process through some sort of ways.

As a resource, I recommend you to read this article on CodeProject. Actually, what I gonna introduce here are just translation of that code for Go.
