Hi,
I've written an RCP program. When it is running, I use FindWindow function to get the handle of the program in C++ code, and then I use PostMessage to post an user defined message to the handle, how can the RCP program receive it?

I try display.addListener(...), but it didn't work.

Thanks!

As far as I know this is not posible because SWT is platoform
independent. Use a mittlware like CORBA, WebService, (XML-)RCP, etc.

Oh, something I have forgotten: If you only use Windows you can also use
OLE.

Thanks! I use Windows. Now I find another way to do this: Instead of sending message to the main handle, I send a WM_SETTEXT message to an Edit Control of my RCP program, and I use text.addModifyListener to receive the message.

He,

to send messages between eclipse rcp applications and native applications, we use http requests. just use the jetty plugin and write an servlet to receive and process the request.

Greetings,
André
