Brainstorming IPC String exchange


Recommended Posts

Hello Community,

I am searching for an elegant method to send a string from a non-autoit-process to autoit.

Criteria are:

- as easy ( few commands ) and unidependent ( eg win-api calls only ) to perform in any programming language

- no tcp/ udp

- no winSetText

 

I tried sending window messages but, I can only send pointers to strings within the lparam which then point to the

memory of another process and format depends on programming language.

 

So any ideas are welcome.

Thanks

Thanks for your suggestions.

I have to specify:

- processes are totaly independent from each other and not start one another ( stdstreams no option )

- processes should communicate while running not just parameters on start ( is that what you meant billo? )

- I am experimenting with a combination of shared memory and window messages ( would you support this approach? what could be downsides and better solutions? )

regards

If you look in my sig "simple text man"

 this is just one example of sending a string (array of strings) to an autit script via the cmdline...

If you are looking pass strings back and forth between applications I will have to pass...

Well I personally think WM_COPYDATA is an elegant solution, though you haven't specified what the other process is or who has written it.

Thank you KaFu,

Thats an interesting opportunity. I read some msdn and wikipedia and found your example

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

You read data from shell32.dll there right? But I do not understand how to create virtual files that do not really exist on disk.

Is this possible?

regards
