color=#0000ff size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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?</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
