[RESOLVED] Send text to exe

I am trying to create a messenger type app and wondered if it was possible to send text from exe to exe. At the moment the exe writes to a text file, that is read by other exe. It would be better if the two exe's could send the text directly to each other somehow.

Any help??

Thanks

If you want the two exes to be able to communicate over a network or internet, then lookup some tutorials for the Winsock control, there is section called Network Programming here which is a lot about using the winsock control - it allows you to make remote connections from app to app over a network or internet, and send and receive data:)

Ps: theres loads of basic 1-to-1 chat example code out there, a few on the Netork Programming forum, but theres loads at www.pscode.com/vb

Cheers!

will check it out now.
