What is the best way to let 1 program communicate with another.
So far, I have only been using PostMessage() and it seems to work fine.

BUT : can I be sure that the posted message will always be received by the target program?

Thanks in advance,

eric

I think than filemapping is the best way to transfert data between apps (and not only a flag/small info, as PostMessage() only have 2 longs params (8 bytes). Rings did some examples on this subject IIRC which was really cool to look at.

Sometimes windows is damn complicated, this time windows is as simple as...PureBasic : FileMapping it is then, Thanks.
