====== INTERACTIVE property (System) ======

==== Description ====

Specifies if the Presentation Server is running on an interactive window station (aka. "WinSta0").  An interactive window station is one where a logged-in user can interact with the desktop.  A non-interactive window station is one where this is not possible, such as the environment in which service applications run.

 


 
==== Property Value ====
 
 
This property is a Boolean value. It returns TRUE$ if the Presentation Server is running on an interactive window station, or FALSE$ otherwise.

==== Remarks ====
 
 
Applications that are not running on an interactive window station should not create modal windows such as dialog boxes because it will not be possible for a user to dismiss them.
 
Further information on interactive window stations can be found on the Microsoft Website under the topic "Window Station and Desktop Creation".
 
 
 
 
==== Example ====
 
<code>
 
// Example - Check to see if we are running in a non-service

   //           context before loading a modal dialog window

    

   IsInteractice = Get_Property( "SYSTEM", "INTERACTIVE" )

   If IsInteractice Then

      // It's OK To load a dialog

      RetVal = Dialog_Box( "GET_USER_ANSWER", @Window, "" )

   End
