Hi,
Kevin and Scott thank you very much for your replies.
It seems to be very hard to combine the IPC stuff with
the GUI event model, at least with regard to the means
Win32::GUI offers.
Receiving user defined events seems to be the main
problem because there is no suitable access to the
main event loop that I am aware of.
And I can't think of a sensible way to call PeekMessage
in a second application (except from scattering calls
all over the code).
The solution I am going to use is a very ugly one:
In both applications I set up a timer to trigger a
timer event. This event is used to check for incoming
messages in a file.
Cheers,
Peter
