Pass information

[shridhark]

Hello,

How can I pass an information from one .exe file to another.

Ex:- If I select a picture name in one .exe file, the selected picture should be displayed from the picture box of another .exe file.

Thankz

you can pass it by command line. like:
mydir\myprog.exe mypic.jpg

The @host is everywhere!

Thanks for u'r information.
kindly brief me more details.

try playing with that code:
Sub CheckCommandLine()
Dim sCmdLine as string
sCmdLine = Trim$(LCase$(Command$))

If Right$(sCmdLine, 4) <> ".exe" then
End
else
MsgBox "file found!"
'your call to a function goes here or
'something else
End If

End Sub



I haven't checked this code but i think it should work

If both executables are written by you, can I recommend passing information by sending a registered message?

What you need to do is call RegisterWindowMessage() with the name of your message then send that message using the PostMessage() api call. The name of the file to load is stored in a global memory block whose adress is passed to the callee in th elParam parameter of that message.

That's how windows does it...

HTH,
Duncan
