Is it possible to create a visual form in a service application or do I need 
to create a separate GUI application that communicates with the service?  I 
have tried creating a TForm at run time with little success:

TForm *Form1 = new TForm(Example,1);

My service will be running on a dedicated machine controlling and monitoring 
a number of different pieces of equipment.  Control can be either local or 
remote via a mating Workstation appl.  A small form indicating the status of 
each would be beneficial for a quick visual inspection by the maintaince 
crew, typically not computer savy.  I realize they would have to login to 
get the visual (typically through a touchscreen interface and a ruggedized 
20 key keyboard)

We have an existing GUI based application that performs a similiar function, 
but we have been catching a lot of GRIEF from customers IT groups having to 
auto logon these computers to run this application.
