} COPYDATASTRUCT, *PCOPYDATASTRUCT;
COPYDATASTRUCT stCopyData;
//Get HWND of YourAppFileName.exe
stCopyData.dwData = iTagWndMsgID; //TagWndMsgID setting in Registry
stCopyData.lpData = szIniFileName; //Includes terminating null ansi
characters
stCopyData.cbData = strlen(szIniFileName) + 1; //Size of ini filename
+ 1
//Send WM_COPYDATA Message to YourAppFileName.exe
