Not really. This is not something that happens inside Vim. Polling for
changes in the system is not really something I would like to add to Vim.

:call remote_send({server}, {string}[, {idvar}])
:let x = remote_expr({server}, {string}[, {idvar}])
etc.
For other programs: there are two protocols used: Windows and X11. You may
want to dig into the Vim source to see how it does it. The server code (or the
X11 server code?) is in src/if_xcmdsrv.c. The client code may be in eval.c or
something -- look for Vim functions with names starting remote_ (or C
functions with names starting f_remote_). In the source I have here
(7.0.114) there is an #ifdef FEAT_CLIENTSERVER at eval_c line 13051.
Best regards,
Tony.

I don't know what you mean with would you be willing. src/if_xcmdsrv.c contains info for writing a C program. os_mswin.c also has some code that can be used for Win32. It's not easy, of course. I can't remember seeing a program that actually does this. -- Engineers will go without food and hygiene for days to solve a problem. (Other times just because they forgot.)

Chip Campbell Are you referring to a sample code similar to the xcmdsrv_client.c file under the $VIM/tools directory? This sample code shows how to send commands to a remote Vim from a C program in Unix systems running X-Windows. A similar sample code for MS-Windows is needed. - Yegappan
