[comp.windows.ms.programmer] interprocess communication in Windows

hjp@franklin.ee.umr.edu (Hardy Pottinger) (06/30/91)

I have a routine that needs to a) send a DDE message to another
program, b) wait on the reply, and c) finish up what it was doing
using the reply.  We've done this using the usual Windows way by
posting the DDE message, return, get reply message, process; but would
like to keep the nice simple call;doit;return interface we have now.
We could do this if windows was really multitasking and had a real
signal capability.  Am I missing something?  Does anyone have a
suggestion?
