Sending message from one instance to another

[chellakudam]

Hi Friends,

I want to call my pb application from a non-pb application (using run command). If another instance of the pb application is running, I need to open a window with a parameter ( which I pass from the non-pb application). I can find handle of the window using FindWindowA command. My question is how do I send a message from open event of my second pb instance app object to a window in the other instace which is already running and close my new instance? Any help appreciated.

just get the handle of a window in the other app, and trigger an event in that window:

ll_handle = FindWindow("Class", "Title&quot
if ll_handle > 0 then
Post ( ll_handle, 1025, 0, 0 )
end if

in the receiving window, map the event pbm_custom02 to something and put do whatever you have to do.
