I know how to check the status of MySQL server in Delphi when the server is run as a process (I am using dbexpress as a database tool). However, I don't know how to check the status of the server as a service (from Registry-Services-MySQL55- version 5.5).
I tried something like this:
...
uses Registry;
...
Registry. ... Services. ... .MySQL55.Running:=true;
but that doesn't work.
Could someone show the proper way of calling the Registry in Delphi and resolving this problem?
