Windows IPC Options Support

[d.w.b]

The following interprocess communication (IPC) mechanisms are supported by Windows:

* Clipboard
* COM
* Data Copy
* DDE
* File Mapping
* Mailslots
* Pipes
* RPC
* Windows Sockets

It would be nice to have one thread that lists all the Microsoft Windows' Inter-Process Communications options that are viable for implementation with LabVIEW.  Searching the forum for "interprocess communication" finds various ones but others are not mentioned.  NI document "How Do I Use LabVIEW to Communicate with Other Applications?" written in 2000 lists TCP, UDP, and ActiveX.  Surely there are more...

Hi d.w.b,

Thank you for the suggestion. I will put in a request to document the interprocess communication supported in LabVIEW.

Thanks!

Data Copy is supported by G Toolbox:
