I have a VC++6 program generating data in console mode. I need to pass the data real-time to a VB6 front-end? Both programs need to run simultaneously the C program passing the data to the VB program as quickly as it can and the VB program using the data as fast as possible. I have read about pipes but is there a simpler way of doing this? The data to be "streamed" are about 8K-16K maximum and absolute synchronization is not essential. Any ideas? Would be mightily appreciated. Thanks.
