Hello everybody!
I want to trigger an action in one application by
a message sent from an other application.
First application i tried this:

TForm1 *Form1;
__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
        : TForm(Owner)
{
Mes=RegisterWindowMessage("essai");  }
void __fastcall TForm1::Timer1Timer(TObject *Sender)
{
PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,Mes,1,1);
}

Other application:
I think one choice is a loop:
    MSG msg;
while (GetMessage((LPMSG)&msg,...)){
if(msg.message=RegisterWindowMessage("essai"))
{...}
}
I didn't tried it but if it work, is there any other choice which
don't lock the second application in the loop?

Best regards
