Broadcasting String to all applications

[BorlandGeek]

Does anyone know the call to broadcast a string to windows
so that another app may grab it and use it to display...

I have a service that parses a message from SQL and usually displays it to a physical display through a serial connection.. but i would like to mimic this display with bitmaps. So i need my service to send a string to a normal app

Is that possible? I mean to broadcast a string to all apps.

I think the only way to do that is using the clipboard, although that's not the solution.

Why don't you try asking the same question in the WinAPI forum?

I couldn't find the book I was looking for but I did run across a couple of articles about using pipes. I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not but here they are:
