pro_vb thread: Help. Connecting to a running instance exe.
Actually I am going explain the basics of what I am trying to do. I have an project which will have three separate processes. 1... a TCP/IP server (winsock) 2... a Directory Scanner 3... a OCR application When the OCR app runs (when triggered by the directory scanner) the computer is under extreme load for about 2 minutes. This is fair enough as I want the OCR job done ASAP. Everything starts with the TCP/IP server which works away and the important thing is that it should work independent of the OCR job. The TCP/IP server sets the directories to be scanned and provides a file transport. When a file is found by the scanner that is forwarded to the OCR app. I am intrested in any opinions on how to accomplish this and what would be the best methods of interprocess communication. My thought path leads me to creating 3 services which is no problem what I am struggling with is a method of interprocess communication between the three services. Also a queueing mechanism so that pending operations do not stop or wait for interprocess routines to finnish. Thanks Stuart.
