- Hello,
-
- I hope that someone can help me, I have recently started to use the sample client
- demo and server demo programs in the Microsoft SDK, to help me understand
- MS-Windows and OLE. I am experiencing difficultly in passing data between the
- server and the client.
-
- I have devised a server that behaves as a seconds counter and a client that behaves
- like a minute counter, along with a manager client application that has the seconds
- and minutes applications packaged within it.
-
- What I have done is to create an object in the seconds server that simply counts
- upto 59 and starts again. I have allowed the object to be copied and pastelinked
- via the clipboard to the minute client, therefore creating a link between the
- seconds and the minutes.
-
- What I would be grateful for is some advise (perhaps some examples) of how to pass
- data (eg the number that represents the seconds) from the seconds server to the
- minutes client, so that the minutes client could check for 59 and increment its
- minutes counter. Should this be done via the clipboard or via calls to Get the data
- ? If via the clipboard what is the best way to put and read data of the clipboard ?
-
- I would be very grateful if any OLE guru could help me with these problems -
- my email is below.

- Thanks In Advance -- Sukhdev Khebbal
