[VCProgrammer]

Hi all,

I have two exe's. i have got handle of one exe in another using this api

HWND m_RemoteWindow;
m_RemoteWindow = ::FindWindow(NULL,_T("b"));

now i want to pass a parameter to my second exe... i have got handle for it...

How can i do so.....

I have to pass parameter from one exe to another and retrieve that parameter in second exe

use PostMessage (wparam,lparam) to send the parameters

There are several ways for it, Google some information for 'interprocess communication'.

If amount of data is small, you can send it by COPYDATA-message.

example (might or might not work 100%):

        COPYDATASTRUCT lpCopyData;
        int iVariable=2;

        lpCopyData.dwData = 1;
        lpCopyData.cbData = sizeof(int);
        lpCopyData.lpData = (LPVOID)&iVariable;

        ::SendMessage(Handle, WM_COPYDATA, NULL, (LPARAM)(LPVOID)(&lpCopyData));

There are various ways, shared memory, named pipes, etc. You can search for it on the web, there are enough articles on the topic.
