I think you can use CreateFileMapping() & MapViewOfFile() for that.

This is what Remy said once for similar case:

|  Use a named file mapping to share a block of memory
|  between the two programs.  Look at CreateFileMapping()
|  and MapViewOfFile().  When both applications call
|  CreateFileMapping() using the same name, they will get a
|  handle to the same global mapping object.  Then MapViewOfFile()
|  can turn that object into a pointer that both applications can then
|  use to access the shared memory.


Best regards,
