i'm trying to make a program that requires a 3d and 2d window (or 3d/2d in one window) i tried making a viewer.exe which costently checked a file so the programs could pass variables. this didnt work. the viewer didnt re-render, and ran really slow. is there a way to get this to work? or a way to pass variables between programs?

Using Windows API you can set up a window hook routine that intercepts messages meant for another window. Window messages come in different flavors, including User messages, that is, custom messages. You can possibly use this as a vehicle for your variable passing.

use the api hooks, and process WM_COPYDATA.
