Supplying new command line parameters to the executable already active
-
Hello, Is there a way to can send parameters through command line to the executable that is already active. Let me explain my requirement clearly. I have an exe which accepts command line parameters and one of the command line parameter is a file name. Now i need to input another file while the exe is still running. Please let me know if there a way to acheive this? Thanks, Hari krishna.

may be a solution: you run the app #1 in MSG processing define an own message, f.e. WM_OWNMSG run app #2 handle the command line parameters find/catch the main window of app #1 (f.e. throu FindWindow(...); ) send the cmdline parameters throu SendMessage(FindWindow(...), WM_OWNMSG, (LPARAM)cmdline, (WPARAM)whatWithIt);
