Global Atoms

Equivalent to Global Atoms in BMAX? (For the record, I'm sending it to another program, using SendMessage)

it might be easier for people to help you if you explained what exactly you mean by "Global Atoms"...

Oooh, I used one of those to add a "secret" keyboard shortcut to a windows app.
No idea what they are, mind, I just trawled Google til I found a method to do what I needed..

;-)

I've been googling, but i haven't found a thing yet.

It's supposedly a global function that another program can use, if it knows it's variable pointer. I sent the variable pointer to the program but got no results.

Global Distxt:Byte Ptr = "Successfully Initialized.".ToCString ( )
If SendMessage(RZR_Wnd_Main, WM_USER + 200, 0, distxt) = 0 Then Notify "Failed to send message"

Ive noticed "GlobalAddAtom" and "GlobalDeleteAtom", in kernel32, but when I'm defining them in the extern, I get this..

C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/Other/Bmax/.bmx/Nja_Map.bmx.console.debug.win32.x86.o(code+0x28b): undefined reference to `GlobalAddAtom@4'
Build Error: Failed to link C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/Other/Bmax/Nja_Map.debug.exe

EDIT: Just noticed, MSDN only shows support for w95, w98 and ME :/..

haha nice quote.

Hey dude- It's been in my sig for months :))

As for this Atom thing- they seem to be completely useless???

I got the declaration working correctly, but the other application isn't reading the string inside the atom correctly.


They may be completely useless, but I don't have the source code to this other application, so I have to go with this.
