Hey, now, this wasn't wasted time at all! First of all, your exploration and your potential work around will be recorded for posterity in the archives of this mailing list. Someone who comes by next year with the same question will be able to look at the path you went down, and make their choice based on the version of things they are required to run. Second of all, "ctypes" is the Swiss army knife of Windows Python programming. Any expertise you gained in ctypes usage while exploring this will pay back handsomely the next time you are faced with a similar problem. Third of all, it has been educational for all of us. I've been doing Windows programming for 17 years, and in all that time, I have never come across a good use for a mailslot that couldn't be better solved in another way. It's interesting to me that you have such an application. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
