Using DLLs with modeless (non-modal) dialog

[jpgarcia]

I have made a DLL with creates a modeless dialog, I have to call it from a program made with LabView, but I think the matter is with any kind of "parent program". The matter is, when I create the modeless dialog, I think I have to create de modeless window with:

m_nonmodal->Create(CMyDlg::IDD,AfxGetMainWnd());

And I put to a edit control, to see if it gets something, with:

m_nonmodal->m_texto=(LPTSTR)AfxGetMainWnd();

But, how can I do to exchange data between the modeless and the parent?

I have been trying to exchange data doing it with messages, *I've tried things as making a emitter and receiver program, both exes:

1.- Create my own window message using GUID in emiterDlg.cpp:
const UINT wm_Message =
RegisterWindowMessage(_T("CC667211-7CE9-40c5-809A-1DA48E4014C4"));

2.- And now with an event I send it to the window processor?

void CmemisorDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
:ostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,wm_Message,(WPARAM)hwnd,0);
}

But I dont know if the messages are only possible for the same program, or can exchange data between diferent programs.

And I have to put in the receiver:

1.- the same of the wm_Message definition

2.- in the message map receiverDlg.h, add

afx_msg void MyReceiverFunction(I dont know what parameters)

3.- and in receiverDlg.cpp, I know I have to use or GetMessage or PeekMessage, and put something like:

void MyReceiverFunction(I dont know what parameters)
{
if(PeekMessage(wm_Message,NULL,0,0,PM_NOREMOVE))
{
//Do Something
}

}
