[DUG] Sending data between process on same computer on windows

[Conor Boyd]

I found the IPC functionality from madshi.net
(http://help.madshi.net/IPC.htm) to work very nicely.
 
I needed a way to send messages from a screensaver I was writing to
another process on the same box, and SendMessage didn't seem to work
when a screensaver was active (which I found strange, but anyway...),
and the IPC stuff from madshi works flawlessly.
 
HTH,
 
C.

May I ask what is the fastest way to send data between process on same
computer on windows? I assume sendmessage api faster than semaphore
waiting, of course faster than TCP/IP which will go through huge amounts
of tcp/ip stack. I just want lowest overhead on per call. Anyone have
any experiences on that?
