Ok, so let's say you have a program, and from that program, you lauch another (using the Process.Start command). But there's one problem, you want the second program to use a string from the first one. Here's how:

1- In the first program, the one that will be sending the message, insert a button.
2- In the button's "Click" Event, insert this:

Code: Select all

Private sub Button1_Click (byval sender as object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles Button1.click

Process.Start("SecondProgram.exe","Message to send")
End Sub

That's all for the first program, now for the second:

3- Add a label to the form, in the Form's "Load" event, put this:

Code: Select all

Private sub Form1_Load (byval sender as object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles me.load

Dim str as String=Command()
Label1.Text=str
Label1.Refresh()

End Sub

That's all... Now, when you lauch the sender program and click on the button, the second program will launch and the label's text will be the sent message. I found this information on YouTube.

Hope this helps

You can also use

Code: Select all

 Dim ProcessProperties As New ProcessStartInfo
                ProcessProperties.FileName = "Updater.exe"
                ProcessProperties.Arguments = "Your 'Command'"
                ProcessProperties.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized
                Dim myProcess As Process = Process.Start(ProcessProperties)

Code: Select all

MsgBox(Command.ToString)

it can be used for Notepad?

Notepad uses the first argument as the file name, though you can't set the text with this.

You can use SendMessage and WM_SETTEXT to set the text. This might be useful: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5727&p=43511#p43452
