sending external events to IDL application [message #12677]

Hello,

I'm using IDL version 5.02 in a PC running Windows NT 4.0. I was
wondering if it possible to send external events from other Windows
applications or dlls to IDL widget UI. I couldn't find any information
about this from our manuals. We would like to gather data from serial
port or network interface and then communicate between the two
applications. We could of course poll the status of the dll using timers,
but I think it's lot better if the dll could send events to our UI since
we may have something else to do meantime :). Maybe one solution would
be to start a 'child' IDL process to poll the status??

Any ideas and example code (both C/C++ and IDL) greatly appreciated.

TIA,
teemu
