WM_COPYDATA message with WaitEvent()

Hi all !

After some years I've the chance to use Blitz+ to make an application. It is not a game, but I need a great graphics environment. Since I need some DB functionalities B+ can't handle, I'm thinking to use an helper program that needs to talk to the B+ program.

Do you know if B+ is able to handle a WM_COPYDATA message sent to its windows ? The helper program could send data to B+ in this way.

I could use a DLL of course, but since I need to wait for data to be sent, B+ would stop...

Thanks for any help !

Is it realtime?
Could you simply create a file and read from the file if not real time?
You could use TCP/IP or UDP if you need it in real time.
