How to send an event from current app to another?

Hi Guys,

I need some help here. I am currently running a standalone program (ProgramA) which allows me to view and capture images from a thermal camera.

However, the Gain and Level settings of the thermal camera is only changeable from another standalone program (ProgramB), which communicates with the thermal camera.

So is it possible for me to change the Gain and Level settings of ProgramB though Program A? How can i go about doing it guys? How do I send an event from ProgramA to ProgramB, telling Program B to change its settings?

Can someone offer me some help with this? any websites that illustrates this will do as well.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Justin

The SendMessage API will do it if ProgramB is running.
I can't give you specifics of what messages to send without knowing what controls ProgramB uses.
