Example connection from C/C++ application:
char* sendCommand="0|C:\\music\\test.mp3"; COPYDATASTRUCT MyCDS; MyCDS.dwData = 42; //the ultimate answer is used for ID MyCDS.cbData = strlen(sendCommand); MyCDS.lpData = sendCommand; //utf8 char* HWND hwdClownfish = FindWindow(L"CLOWNFISHVOICECHANGER", L"Clownfish Voice Changer" ); if (hwdClownfish) { SendMessage( hwdClownfish, WM_COPYDATA, NULL, (LPARAM) (LPVOID) &MyCDS ); }Contact me if you need more information.
