VB Forum / COM / November 2004Passing parameter without starting the other app again
Hi, I need to pass some parameters between two VB6 exe files. Have found lots how to do this with command$. Like this example Call Shell("The other app.Exe Parameters", vbNormalFocus) and I can pickup Parameters via command$ in the receiving app. That's almost what I want to do. Here is the problem. The program "The other app.Exe" is already running and everytime I do a Call Shell... the other program starts again and I have now two of the "The other app.Exe" running. I want to pass parameters to the other program which is already running without starting it over and over again. Can I do that in a similar way or do I have to go via some common file?
