title: Interapp communication between .net and vb6
body: <p>I saw a good article explaining how to have .net apps communicate directly with each other (http://ryanfarley.com/blog/archive/2004/05/10/605.aspx), but it involved overriding the WndProc method in your form which I obviously can't do in vb6.</p>
  
  <p>Do any other methods of inter-application communication exist that could be utilized in vb6?</p>
  
  <p>I am about to start a new project in .net, but there are vb6 forms I will not be able to port as soon as I will need them.  After considering a couple of different designs I've decided that it may be best to just let the vb6 app run in the background and, when notified to do so, it could present any forms I need it to and then notify the .net application when the form has been closed.</p>
