From: Marcel_NL on 22 Sep 2006 06:00 Hi, Is Director (MX 2004) capable of receiving and handling Windows messages? I want to communicate between my Director movie (projector EXE file) and another written C++ executable using Windows messages. Thanks, Marcel
From: Mike Blaustein on 22 Sep 2006 06:21 I'm not sure if this is what you are after, but BuddyAPI has a command called baSendMsg which may help you out. You can check out this xtra at www.mods.com.au/budapi
From: Marcel_NL on 22 Sep 2006 07:11 Thanks for your respons. This seems the method for communication from Director EXE to C++ EXE, but I was wondering if Director is capable of receiving Windows messages (messages from C++ EXE to Director EXE) correctly. And if these messages can be handled by Lingo.
From: thismonkey on 22 Sep 2006 12:25 You can use buddyapi to run exe files and pass arguements to them... is this what you wanted? its the shell command. Im not sure whether lingo can receive and interpret them. However you could create a data file somewhere, use your c++ exe file to write the messages to this file and use buddyapi to read in the messages. then you can program responses depending on the message. try checking the above website as suggested.
