Service running but no message box shown

I have a service and I'm starting this service from a form:

ctl = ServiceController.GetServices().Where(s => s.ServiceName == "ServiceA").First();
ctl.Start();
MessageBox.Show(ctl.Status.ToString());//Running

I checked the service in the Task Manager of windows 8 and it is running. However I added a code like that :

public ServiceA()//constructor method
{
MessageBox.Show("Started");
}

But when the process is running, I can't see any message box which has its content like "Started". What is the problem?

Windows services do not allow showing of message boxes. You can refer to this Stack Overflow question for more details.
