How to write data to another applcation?

[hstijnen]

Hi,

I have an application with some data-entry fields. Is it possible to put data into the data-entry fields from outside, by another application?

Yes, look at the messaging API (MAPI).

Ok 2ffat, where can I find the MAPI files, components, etc.
I have a similiar request as hstijnen, only I want my application to put data files into another application, preferably over an internet browser.

I'm not that familar with using browsers but what about using ActiveX, COM, DCOM?

BCB has some components to exchange information between apps
I have never used those components, but it should work.

Try with DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)

I've found a pretty good tutorial on C++ on internet:

Herein is a topic on sending messages to another applic:

I've not yet worked it out, but it looks good.
