This document describes two techniques for inter-process communication (IPC) in Windows: using the clipboard and using data copy. It explains how to share data between processes using the Windows clipboard API functions like OpenClipboard(), SetClipboardData(), and CloseClipboard(). It also explains how to send data between processes using the WM_COPYDATA message, a COPYDATASTRUCT structure, and the SendMessage() API function. Both techniques allow sharing data between processes on the same computer.
