Subject: RE: Running a program in a background process From: "Jeff Leal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2004 21:51:54 +0100
Ok, thanks dor the info guys. Basically what I want to achieve is this:
I have a PDA with a GPS antenna (Garmin iQue 3600). There is some firmware software that runs when you have the gps antenna extended. This is some basic navigational maps and voice stuff. However, people have developed programs that run in the background while this firmware is running. An example is of a "speed" program that monitors your speed and plays some alarms when you go over certain speeds (all this happens while the mapping firmware software is running). I want to do something similar, but I want to monitor other GPS information and play sounds too for now.
If you have control of the foreground program, them you can periodically send a message to another program to have it do something. This seems your best alternative.
You don't need to know what the other program(s) are doing.
