| Is there an equivalent to 'Global Atoms' in Max? (For the record, I'm trying to send one to another program, using SendMessage.) |
| ||
| it might be easier for people to help you if you explained what exactly you mean by "Global Atoms"... |
| ||
| Oooh, I used one of those to add a "secret" keyboard shortcut to a windows app. No idea what they are, mind, I just trawled Google til I found a method to do what I needed.. ;-) |
| ||
| I've been Googling, but i haven't found a thing yet. It's supposedly a system-wide variable that another program can use, if it knows the pointer. I sent the variable pointer to the program but got no results. Global Distxt:Byte Ptr = "Successfully Initialized.".ToCString ( ) If SendMessage(RZR_Wnd_Main, WM_USER + 200, 0, distxt) = 0 Then Notify "Failed to send message" |

| Ive noticed "GlobalAddAtom" and "GlobalDeleteAtom" in kernel32. But I get this error from my Extern block: C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/Other/Bmax/.bmx/Nja_Map.bmx.console.debug.win32.x86.o(code+0x28b): undefined reference to `GlobalAddAtom@4' Build Error: Failed to link C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/Other/Bmax/Nja_Map.debug.exe EDIT: Just noticed, MSDN only shows support for w95, w98 and ME :/ |

| haha nice quote. |

| Hey dude- It's been in my sig for months :)) As for this Atom thing- they seem to be completely useless??? |
| ||
| I got the declaration working correctly, but the other application isn't reading the string inside the atom correctly. They may be completely useless, but I don't have the source code to this other application, so I have to go with this. |
