I post this here if others will face the same problem to get a solution.
The solutions I found on the net so far suggests to call
ServiceClass->ServiceThread->Terminate().
I was wondering why this did not work for my service app.
Looking at the source code shows why. This solution
only works if you build your service by using the OnExecute
event handler. If you use the OnStart event handler you can
use the following code:

PostThreadMessage(ServiceClass->ServiceThread->ThreadID,
CM_SERVICE_CONTROL_CODE, SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP, 0);

Frank.
