Messaging between native Linux app and Wine app

Post by dmccarty »

Under Wine, I have two windows apps, one Win32 and one .Net, that can send messages to each other using Windows's SendMessage/PostMessage API's. I've ported the Win32 to a native Linux app but would like to keep the IPC between the two apps.

The obvious choice would be a TCP socket connection between the apps, but I wonder if this isn't a common Wine problem and there's an easier solution. Is it possible to put a Windows message in the message queue using the wine server (or another mechanism)? And similarly, is it possible to send a signal to a Linux app from an app running inside Wine?

Thanks in advance.
