Windows has OLE, DDE or whatever they are calling it these days. Macs have AppleEvents and Linux has D-BUS and a thousand other formats.
There is no way that you can abstract this into a cross-platform unified syntax because those systems are very different in their nature and implementation. Now, if you want you app to communicate with your other app, you can simply use TCP or UDP and go with networks, that is very cross-platform but the standard for IPC is different on each platform. -- http://www.andregarzia.com All We Do Is Code. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
