Woohoo!! My first post... :cool:
I'm fairly new to this game so you'll excuse me if what I'm about to ask is simple and staring me in the face.
I've just written an application which will control quite a lengthy process, typically 2-3 hours. What I want to do is have another app monitoring its progress in another part of the building (the two connected over a LAN).
The idea, seen as though I don't want to complicate the original app any further, is for the monitoring app to simply interogate the main app at intervals and retrieve variables to display its progress.
I'm not so much looking for answers (I can do the code, I think!) but just for someone to point me in the right direction. The app's been written in Borland C++.
