Messaging between VDF Applications

by Dalton Pulsipher

Summary

This package will enable you to let vdf applications talk to one another in an event fashion. Simply create an object, tell it who to send the message to, what the message is, and then send it off. In the other application you will receive the message as an event with the message text as a parameter. Do what you like with it and then Function_Return your response text. It will be sent back to the calling application. Currently both apps must be on the same computer.

This was shown at DISD 2005. Included are the necessary packages and instructions for their use. There is also a set of files so you can put this in the Wine and Order Entry sample applications for demonstration purposes.
