Hi,
Thanks all for the valuable suggestions.
Presently i am working on win32 console applications. My primary task
is to port all the IPC communication through Pipes, Message queues, and
shared memory from linux to windows.

Though i was able to do it successfully for Pipes and Shared memory, i
could not find a proper win32 API to implement Message queue
communication between two different process(one process is created from
other using CreateProcess, and these two processes must talk with each
other using MQ).

I found the following functions so far, which didnt help,

1. PostThreadMessage - for Message queue between process and its
thread.
2. SendMessage, PostMessage - uses the destination window handle as an
argument. but since i am working on win32 console application ... I
donn have any windows handle so unable to use these functions...

Are there any win32 API functions, where we can send messages to Queue
of a process using queue id like msgsnd() in linux???

Thanks n Advance,
vamsi.


You're in the wrong NG asking this question. All you got here is wannabee teachers wanting to write a book, students and nobody with any real experience. <g>

These people don't know *jack* about the Windows O/S and queue processing. I suggest that you find a MS NG with someone that may know Linux and MS. You're not going to find it here. ;-)
