I have an application that sends messages to other applications. Also one I have not written.
I wonder what will happen, if an application does not have a specific handler for that/those messages? Will a standard handling routine service them, so my application can go on doing its business, or is there a 'chance' that it occationally will hang? The problem is, that everything seems to work, as the other application uses shared memory to do the communication, which I also send, but some times the transfer seems to halt. Not that everything stops, some data still gets through, but not all. The data transfered is a fairly simple record in shared memory of about 5 kB in size, that also contains handshaking entries. A mutex is used in both applications to limit access. The 'writing' is, that messages are more efficient, than the simple timer related polls used, but ... ? _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
