Had a similar problem. Got VGA cables. Connected laptop and LCD, far apart (50 ft). Ditto for sound. Et voila, works like a charm. Got wireless keyboard and mouse(About $100.00) and here I am (quite literally) writing to my LCD. Switch to TV-HDTV-DVD/HVS player from remote. Ted

Your opinion please. I want to create a menu system. In addition to starting and stopping apps, I want the menu to display what view each app is on. In this example http://www.codeproject.com/threads/sendmsg.asp, Martin-Pierre Frenette shows how to pass data from one app to another. He uses the WM_COPYDATA. In this example http://www.codeproject.com/dll/data\_seg\_share.asp, Phil Mcgahan shows how to do a similar thing using PostMessage and a shared data segment. I have a lot of C experience, but only a few months of Visual C++. If you have experience in these types of matters, would you please express the pros and cons of each to me. The basic question is WM_COPYDATA verses Shared Data Segment. Thank you.
