Ha, you can send data to the process like this.

Seems like you can do one or the other, but not both.

main.bmx:

Type TMultiProcess

	Field process:TProcess
	
	Method ReceiveMessage()
		
	EndMethod
	
	Function Create:TMultiProcess(path$)
		Local multiprocess:TMultiProcess
		multiprocess=New TMultiProcess
		multiprocess.process=CreateProcess(path)
		If Not multiprocess.process Return
		Return multiprocess
	EndFunction		
	
	Method Free()
		process.Close()
		process=Null
	EndMethod
	
EndType

Local multiprocess:TMultiProcess
multiprocess=TMultiProcess.Create("process.exe")

Delay 5000

For n=1 To 100
	'If multiprocess.process.pipe.ReadAvail()
		'Print String(multiprocess.process.pipe.ReadByte())
		WriteByte multiprocess.process.pipe,100+n
	'EndIf
Next


Delay 50000
End

process.bmx:

StandardIOStream=New TCStandardIO

Local n

Repeat
	'StandardIOStream.WriteByte(n)
	
	n:+1
	'If StandardIOStream.ReadAvail()
		Notify "Process: "+StandardIOStream.ReadByte()
	'EndIf
