Guys now that under win32 the issues with SendMessage & PostMessage have
been fixed under win64 i have a question to ask
I have an application that i will need to send messages with payloads
between the application and other applications ( some Located on the same pc
and the other being located on another pc on the network ).
I was tinkering with the idea to use a named pipe to send data between my
application and the remote end ( sometimes on the local pc , sometimes on
another pc ) and also to send information between my application and a
deskband object dll ( toolbar application thats run from a explorer thread
that hosts things like the start button ).
Basically i would be sending a message between my application and another
instance of my application ( could be local or remote ) to tell the
Application to do something like stop , shutdown or process a new file ( and
that filename would be part of the message - hence maybe with a namedpipe i
might end up with different message sizes )
Would this be an issue on a namedpipe ? ie when in messagemode can one send
different size messages into the pipe ? or would this not work ?
i only am considering this since if i dont use a named pipe i would need to
write the code twice and have one set to use the sendmessage/postmessage for
a local connection and another section of code to get to a remote pc ( using
tcpip ).
I've allready code some code that uses a namedpipe working to comunicate
between the application and another instance on the same pc but havent got
around to doing so for the something like a deskband object yet.
Any ideas welcome , as i am just asking to clarify which would be the better
one to use.
Delphian
