Jabberwock 0 Posted November 16, 2006 I just looked at these, and I really don't understand how you can send a command to a process you wrote with those, i am pretty much looking to send a command which executes a func, which dosn't have any way of being executed on the GUI Hide Jabberwock's signature Hide all signatures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thatsgreat2345 0 Posted November 16, 2006 if you provide some code it would be greatly appreciated, but the thing is one program runs the other one, which when run you open up lines that you can send whatever you want and if you have both reading whats being sent on these lines and if it sends whatever u want it to send and with an If statement you can easily call a function , im curious as to how a program you made you are unable to call a function....

Jabberwock 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Never said i was unable to call the function, just said i didn't understand how that could, it's 1 program, using _Singleton to detect if already loaded then send a command to execute a func.

Thatsgreat2345 0 Posted November 16, 2006 _Singleton makes sure the program that you have that function in is only running one process of it, so im just confused on what function you are sending to execute what thus why i said post your code Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jabberwock 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Singleton can serve many purposes, It can exit if already running, or do whatever you want, If _Singleton("test\test", 1) = 0 Then blahblah to proccess Exit EndIf Hide Jabberwock's signature Hide all signatures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thatsgreat2345 0 Posted November 16, 2006 yes but what im not understandign is why you dont go just kill the other process and call the function you need to call Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmOke_N 205 Posted November 16, 2006 Can you state specifically in "steps" what you are trying to accomplish. I've tried to give subtle hints that you make absolutely no sense, but I guess you got that as much as I understand your request. If you want to "communicate" with a process, you were give the answer the first time. If you need something else, then you'll have to re-write your first executable to perhaps look in the registry/an ini/ a text file for something specific that your other process wants it to do. If it's something other than that... Start over with what I requested above. Hide SmOke_N's signature Hide all signatures Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...
