Error compiling call to Windows API function.

[C++ Programming]

Hi

I am working on a CPP that created services.

It complains about the last value in the SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS struct.

According to the Microsoft it is defined as follows:


lpsaActions

A pointer to an array of SC_ACTION structures.


--------------------
When compiling code that calls the function that sets the failure acitons of a server I get the following output.



---------------------------------------------------------------


SC_ACTION *action_array[1];


SC_ACTION* action_str = new SC_ACTION();
action_str->Type = SC_ACTION_RESTART;
action_str->Delay =6000;

action_array[0] = action_str;



SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS actions_struct;
actions_struct.dwResetPeriod = 86400;
actions_struct.lpRebootMsg = NULL;
actions_struct.lpCommand = NULL;
actions_struct.cActions = 1;
LINE(588)---> actions_struct.lpsaActions = action_array;

int result2 = ChangeServiceConfig2W(
service,
SERVICE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS,
&actions_struct);

------------------------

Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong here? My CPP is a little rusty. http://www.barakasoft.com/script/Forums/Images/smiley_frown.gif Would appreciate any help I can get
