Syntax

void gui_ipc(name[,action[,option[,text]]])
string       name
int          action
int          option
string       text

Description

Communicates between spawned applications. The target application receives the event specified by action. Also used to set the current application's IPC name. Multiple applications can have the same name.

name	identifies the name of the target application. If `name` is the only parameter, then this sets the current application's IPC name. If `name` is NULL, then the action is sent to all other applications.
action	is the action (0 - 96) to send to the target application(s). If `action` = (-1), then `pev_ipc` (86) is sent.
option	sets the G.aux value for the target application(s).
text	sets string for the target application(s), retrieved using `gui_info()`.

Notes

At least one GUI window must have been opened before calling gui_ipc.
