InterProcessCommunication

[victor]

Hi,
I'm working on a project involving .NET Frwk and legacy MFC app's.
Within the MFC sub-project there exists several IPC's, using
FindWindow and then PostMessage; they all works fine.
My situation is: I need to 'enter' the legacy world with my .NET app,
and send a message (2 bytes) to one of the MFC app.
Is there an equivalent of the MFC PostMessage in the Framework?
Welcoming your advise/expertise.
;-) Victor

I think you'll have to use P/Invoke to hit the PostMessage Win32 API

Right, thanks Richard.
This will work. I was hoping for a real .NET-equivalent of the API's,
while I'm not so fond of writing the Interop code.
Thanks for your time.
