进程之间通讯的几种方法:
在Windows程序中,各个进程之间常常需要交换数据,进行数据通讯。常用的方法有:
使用内存映射文件
通过共享内存DLL共享内存
使用SendMessage向另一进程发送WM_COPYDATA消息
比起前两种的复杂实现来,WM_COPYDATA消息无疑是一种经济实惠的一中方法.(ZT)
WM_COPYDATA消息的主要目的是允许在进程间传递只读数据。Windows在通过WM_COPYDATA消息传递期间,不提供继承同步方式。SDK文档推荐用户使用SendMessage函数,接受方在数据拷贝完成前不返回,这样发送方就不可能删除和修改数据:
这个函数的原型及其要用到的结构如下:
SendMessage(hwnd,WM_COPYDATA,wParam,lParam);
其中,WM_COPYDATA对应的十六进制数为0x004A
wParam设置为包含数据的窗口的句柄。lParam指向一个COPYDATASTRUCT的结构:
typedef struct tagCOPYDATASTRUCT{
DWORD dwData;//用户定义数据
DWORD cbData;//数据大小
PVOID lpData;//指向数据的指针
}COPYDATASTRUCT;
该结构用来定义用户数据。

具体过程如下:
首先,在发送方,用FindWindow找到接受方的句柄,然后向接受方发送WM_COPYDATA消息.
接受方在DefWndProc事件中,来处理这条消息.由于中文编码是两个字节,所以传递中文时候字节长度要搞清楚.
具体体代码如下:

    {
        const int WM_COPYDATA = 0x004A;
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        [DllImport("User32.dll", EntryPoint = "SendMessage")]
        private static extern int SendMessage(
            int hWnd, // handle to destination window

            ref COPYDATASTRUCT lParam // second message parameter
        );

        [DllImport("User32.dll", EntryPoint = "FindWindow")]
        private static extern int FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //int WINDOW_HANDLER = FindWindow(null, @"欲发送程序窗口的标题");
            int WINDOW_HANDLER = FindWindow(null, @"接收窗口的标题");
            if (WINDOW_HANDLER != 0)
            {
                byte[] sarr = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(this.textBox1.Text);
                int len = sarr.Length;
                COPYDATASTRUCT cds;
                cds.dwData = (IntPtr)100;
                cds.lpData = this.textBox1.Text;
                cds.cbData = len + 1;
                SendMessage(WINDOW_HANDLER, WM_COPYDATA, 0, ref cds);
            }
        }
    }

    public struct COPYDATASTRUCT
    {
        public IntPtr dwData;
        public int cbData;
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]
        public string lpData;
    }
}
