I want to create a 2 programs that communicate with one another within the same computer without using the network functions; a signal sender and receiver pair. When I click the send button on the send program, I want the receiver program to say, received. That's it.
I don't know what's this procedure called. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Simple window code:
Sender:
Code: Select all
Enumeration
#Window
#Button
EndEnumeration
If OpenWindow(#Window, #PB_Any, #PB_Any, 200, 200, "Sender")
ButtonGadget(#Button, 10, 10, 180, 180, "Send Now")
EndIf
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
If Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow ; If the user has pressed on the close button
Quit = 1
; How do I send signals to the other program?
EndIf
Until Quit = 1
Code: Select all
Enumeration
#Window
#ListIcon
EndEnumeration
If OpenWindow(#Window, #PB_Any, #PB_Any, 200, 200, "Receiver")
ListViewGadget(#ListIcon, 10, 10, 180, 180)
EndIf
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
If Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow ; If the user has pressed on the close button
Quit = 1
; What event do I "listen" for?
EndIf
Until Quit = 1
