Taking public variable from another *.exe
|
|
|
| Explain, please, the way to take the public variable from one exe file from
inside another ?

| With a simple EXE you cannot. EXEs are separate spaces in memory.
If you make one of them a COM object, the second can use Getobject() to get
an object reference and pull values out of member properties.

| Alur,
Write it out to a DBF in the first and read in the second .EXE. You could also
use a .TXT file or even use an XML file. If you make the variable holder a COM
..EXE, you could simply call a method in the other .EXE to get it. Of course
there are more exotic options, like Winsock, or "pushing" the variable's value
to the second one.
