Can it be used script to script ?

This does not work for me. Running script 1 should give 3 message boxes. I don't even get 1.

Script1.ahk
Code:
#Persistent

CB1   := RegisterCallback("CallBack1")
CB2 := RegisterCallback("Callback2")
Run, %A_AhkPath% Script2.ahk %CB1% %CB2%
return

CallBack1(Val)
   {
   MsgBox,Callback1 %Val%
   }
   
CallBack2(Val)
   {
   MsgBox,Callback2 %Val%
   }

   
Esc::ExitApp

Script2.ahk
Code:
CB1Addr = %1%
CB2Addr = %2%

CB1 := DllCall(CB1Addr,int,1)
CB2 := DllCall(CB2Addr,int,2)

MsgBox, CB1 - %CB1%`nCB2 - %CB2%
return

I can't see what is wrong with this either :(
This was something I have been meaning to experiment with.. but haven't tried until now. The errorlevel from dllcall on your script2 is 0xC0000005 (access violation).. but same call works fine from script1 :?:

that is probably too close to each reading the other's process memory.

does it work if you #include it instead of running it?

Well yes.. but that defeats the script to script communication trying to be accomplished since it would all be from within the same processor thread..

I know, but it proves all the other code is correct (no typos anyway)

No.

As engunneer says, they run in different memory areas, so you can't use this.

Upon success, RegisterCallback() returns a numeric address that may be called by DllCall() or anything else capable of calling a machine-code function.

I interpret the anything else to actually mean anything else!! There has to be a way; otherwise- I think that the documentation should be adjusted to help clearify.

The system is the OS: it knows what is the memory mapping of each application it runs...
Same for a DLL use with LoadLibrary: its functions run in the same memory space as the program.
The second script doesn't has this knowledge, it is a separate process.

Now, daniel2 has a point, it is a limitation...

So basically-- your saying that your registercallback address can't be called by anything else except the parent script-- or a dllcall in the parent script :?:

ahklerner- Although it doesn't use register callback, majkinetor put together an excellant function to handle instant communication between scripts.

IPC - Inter Process Communication

i could be way of the mark here, but i believe nircmd from www.nirsoft.net allows you to read a processes memory, could you combine the two????

I believe the point of this thread was to establish communication from one script to another (for passing values back and forth..). Although the experiments w/ registercallback didn't lead to anything- IPC does.

I'm not sure I understand; Combine the two what?? the nircmd, IPC, registercallback, other ?
