hi dear builders,

i've got a complicated problem...i've integrated into my application
another programm that calls "PCRE.exe" i save it to disk, than i'll
execute it via: ShellExecute( )...works great, "PCRE.exe" executes
prety well !

OK..now i need to send a Textfile from my< main-application
into the "PCRE.exe" programm..to be more specify: Into it's RichEdit->Text !
The RichEdit gets the Focus automaticly in PCRE-> Form->OnShow()

Here's is the problem, I'm using the below TextSend( ) function to send
the Textfile to the "PCRE.exe" thread..

It doesn't get the Textfile into the RichEdit..BUT my main-application does
!
The Textfile is getting sended into to Button(->Caption) that executes
"PCRE.exe"

Whats exactly going on here...?

I've checked for the ClassName of "PCRE.exe" , it was "TFormPCRE"
so i've calling TextSEnd ( ) like this...

    TextSend("TFormPCRE", "My Textfile !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");

but, my TButton "cmdPCRE" (that executes "PCRE.exe") is getting
the string "My Textfile !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" NOT "PCRE.exe"->RichEdit->Text !!

Why ? Hope someone can help....
