Dear Revolutionaries Is it sensible/feasible to use the clipboard for communicating between rev and other processes?
e.g. suppose I want to pass control to another process that does a large, numerically intensive calculation and then passes the result back to the rev app by writing to the clipboard. This assumes that the overhead of parsing the result on the clipboard is more than offset by the time saved by doing the calculation in a separate, natively compiled process. Would this be quicker than communicating using files? Is there a way in rev to get a message when the clipboard's contents change? - something like "on clipboardUpdated" Of course, using the externals SDK to access a DLL would be optimal - is there a tutorial somewhere on how to access the functions in a DLL from within rev? Would I have to write a C program to do this?
