ZKEmkeeper: Events not triggering on Windows Service - windows

Question

I'm stucked for a while trying to use zkemkeeper sdk to use on a Windows Service that uses a InBios(Controller) for fingerprint.
i first connect to the device and then i add the event OnAttTransactionEx, someone can point me what i'm doing wrong.
Here is the code snippet
`
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
Thread TT = new Thread(new ThreadStart(WorkedThread));
TT.IsBackground = true;
TT.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
this.isServiceStarted = true;
TT.Start();
}
private void WorkedThread()
{
WriteToFile("Worker Thread Started.");
ZKemClient objZkeeper = new ZKemClient(filepath);
this.isDeviceConnected = objZkeeper.Connect_Net("19x.x.x.24x", 4370);
if (this.isDeviceConnected)
{
WriteToFile("Device connected.");
WriteToFile("While loop execution starting.");
while (true)
{
WriteToFile(filepath, "While loop execution started.");
}
}
else
{
WriteToFile("Failed to connect to Device.");
}
}
// ZMClient class
public bool Connect_Net(string IPAdd, int Port)
{
bool bResult = false;
try
{
// Actual SDK class
CZKEM objCZKEM = new CZKEM();
if (objCZKEM.Connect_Net(IPAdd, Port))
{
if (objCZKEM.RegEvent(1, 32767))
{
// [ Register your events here ]
objCZKEM.OnAttTransactionEx += new _IZKEMEvents_OnAttTransactionExEventHandler(zkemClient_OnAttTransactionEx);
}
bResult = true;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
WriteToFile("Connect_Net() Exception->" + ex.Message);
}
return bResult;
}
`

After playing a lot with threading, found a solution.
For windows service - Add reference to System.Windows.Forms
Thread TT1 = new Thread(() =>
{
this.objCZKEM = new CZKEM();
Application.Run();
});
TT1.IsBackground = true;
TT1.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
TT1.Start();
Simply continue with current thread
if (this.objCZKEM.Connect_Net(IP, 4370))
{
this.WriteToFile("ZKEM device connected");
if (this.objCZKEM.RegEvent(1, 32767))
{
this.WriteToFile("ZKEM device events registration started");
// [ Register your events here ]
this.objCZKEM.OnAttTransactionEx += new _IZKEMEvents_OnAttTransactionExEventHandler(zkemClient_OnAttTransactionEx);
this.WriteToFile("Done with ZKEM device events registration.");
}
You should not able to receive finger events from device.
