I had done something 5 years ago where there was a table on the LAN for
messages and each user's PC would keep track of what message's had been
shown on their PC. It would download anything newer than the last
message shown. What would be cool is to use Kevin Ragsdale's "Desktop
Alerts" thingee with this for modern looking "pop up" messages.
The basic idea:
* get the last message id shown from the registry or INI file
liLastID = <your method of getting it here>
select cMessage from LANTABLE where iid > liLastID into cursor
curMsgsToShow
* cycle through cursor and show messages
I also added a "who" part to mine so you could selectively broadcast
instead of everyone getting the messages.
