Send function to other programs.

[MerkurAlex]

Hokay i have two programs i want to be able to send a command to one from the other without using regkeys or files so i could have it send msgbox("","","") to the other program which would show a msgbox from the other program.

Anyone know a good way to do this?

You could send a number to indicate the function to be performed, and a string with the parameters.

Say the number sent is $number, and the string is $String with parameters separated by '|' .

$ArString = StringSplit($string,'|')
 switch $number
   Case 5;msgbox wanted
            msgbox($ArString[1],$ArString[2],$ArString[3],$ArString[4])
      endswitch

To send information from one program to another you could use this which is an example of sending a number and a string.
