Does anybody know if it is possible to send memory allocated with
GlobalAlloc between 16- and 32-bit applications? It doesn't seem to work in
my test program.

Are there any other ways to send data between 16/32-bit applications?

I am very thankfull for answers...

Joachim,

For sending data by DDE you should use the DdeCreateDataHandle() call,
assuming you are using the DDEML API. If you are writing using raw DDE and
PostMessage(), which I would strongly advise against,  you must use the
GMEM_DDESHARE flag.

DDE works fine between 16 and 32 bit applications. DDE is completely
bit-blind. You can also use WM_COPYDATA, but this requires you to use
SendMessage(), which is not always possible or advisable. You can also use
the clipboard.

Use a SharedMemoryMap - it's FAR better.
