Hello, I would like to know if it is possible for two entirely seperate tasks to communicate with each other using the PutMessage – GetMessage mechanism. I would like to create a port for communication say with the CreatePort call, and then if possible have another task somehow associate itself with the created port. If not, exactly then what is the purpose of specifying the port's name in the CreatePort call? Thanks, Jeff p.s. Remember, the tasks are completely seperate. One is NOT the child of the other.
