进程之间通讯的几种方法:
在Windows程序中,各个进程之间常常需要交换数据,进行数据通讯。常用的方法有
使用内存映射文件
通过共享内存DLL共享内存
使用SendMessage向另一进程发送WM_COPYDATA消息
比起前两种的复杂实现来,WM_COPYDATA消息无疑是一种经济实惠的一中方法.(ZT)
WM_COPYDATA消息的主要目的是允许在进程间传递只读数据。Windows在通过WM_COPYDATA消息传递期间,不提供继承同步方式。SDK文档推荐用户使用SendMessage函数,接受方在数据拷贝完成前不返回,这样发送方就不可能删除和修改数据:
这个函数的原型及其要用到的结构如下:
SendMessage(hwnd,WM_COPYDATA,wParam,lParam);
其中,WM_COPYDATA对应的十六进制数为0x004A
wParam设置为包含数据的窗口的句柄。lParam指向一个COPYDATASTRUCT的结构:
typedef struct tagCOPYDATASTRUCT{
DWORD dwData;//用户定义数据
DWORD cbData;//数据大小
PVOID lpData;//指向数据的指针
}COPYDATASTRUCT;
该结构用来定义用户数据。
具体过程如下:
首先,在发送方,用FindWindow找到接受方的句柄,然后向接受方发送WM_COPYDATA消息.
接受方在DefWndProc事件中,来处理这条消息.由于中文编码是两个字节,所以传递中文时候字节长度要搞清楚.
体代码如下:
