transfer user-defined data types between apps

[rawa]

Hello folk,

is it possible user-defined data types transfer direct between applications without write in a tmp-file?

A short type example:

Type Artikel
  TeileNR as Long
  Beschreibung As String * 28
  Dichte As Double
  Laenge As Double
  Breite As Double
End Type
Type Material
  Lieferant As String * 20
  TypSorte As String * 20
  lLiefMat As Long
  KostenKg As Double
End Type
Public Type saaXF
  KopfDaten(0 To 4) As String * 20
  dDatum As Date
  lStand As Long
  Files(0 To 10) As Long
  Art As Artikel
  Mat As Material
  sComment As String * 312
End Type
Public saA As saaXF

I know a little about SendMessage and DDE to transmit strings. But I don't want to transmit each string and value separately because the actual type is much more complex.
