That was the first time I'd tried ipc locally, although I did some one way network stuff years ago. It did turn out to be more difficult than I expected, especially once I realised there needed to be some 2 way comms. > The only thing about sending amount, yes you are correct about the amountToCopy variable, but that is for exactly one transfer. However, i don’t think there is a reliable end of page command so you can't store up commands and send them all in one go when the plot is complete. Also the viewer never knows if the page is complete so must always keep rechecking for new data. Thanks, Phil. I will keep everything you have said in mind, and I will likely have some specific questions later for you as I gain a deeper understanding of all the constraints on the wxwidgets IPC.
