You'll need to call QueryServiceStatus, and when it return SERVICE_STOPPED
in the dwCurrentState param, the service is stopped. How long time it will
take to stop is depending on the service and there is no way of telling this
in advance (none that I know of)..

Subject: stopping a service using ControlService API

Hi,
When I issue a stop message to the SCM by passing SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP
through the ControlService API, the dwCurrentStatus shows the status of the
service as SERVICE_RUNNING even after the ControlService function has
returned.

I do not get SERVICE_STOP_PENDING most of the times. But this is what I am
looking for.
The service does stop however after a while. This is after I get
SERVICE_RUNNING in the status of ControlService.

Can you please let me know if there is any way to know reliably if the
ControlService will really stop the service. Also how long the service may
take to stop?.The service was created using ATL Wizard.

Thanks in advance,
Ramya
