mamewah broadcast selected game to all windows
)p(:
if the other programs are allowed to run in the background then an easy way to do is is just write the name to the clipboard.
the other program can be set to sleep for x milliseconds and then check the clipboard for changes...if not it goes a sleep again if it finds a changes it does its thing etc.

That would be satisfactory, we've been working on it and haven't found a way to make it to work yet. It would be ideal if you could broadcast as you scroll through the list, like mame32 does but right now I would love to be able to broadcast when after a game was selected. Can you tell me more about the way your doing it?

Mamewah also writes the current game to uits debug log in the main mamewah directory so you can probably read it there too.

Heres where you can find the object. Its pretty easy to use and has really good instructions. http://www.hiddensoft.com/
I use it with a timer that calls the function after a predetermined time.

I finally figured out what eightbits request meant when I ran into it.
He wasn't very precise in his request.
The 'windows' he was referring to was Mamewahs main window.
So all you have to do is send the selected game text to the caption property of the form.
Pretty simple..
