which ipc system do i use on windows?

[Guest Frank]

This is a development question, but I don't know where else to put this, so

here goes....

 

I basically want to register my program as a listener for changes in the

network configuration.

I could poll for the change I want to observe (say by searching the output

of ipconfig every 5 seconds),

but listening for an event generated by the source of the change would be

more efficient. This is usually

provided by an IPC subsystem of the OS (examples linux/unix would be dbus,

dcop or ice) does such a

subsystem exist on Windows? If so, what is its name so I can look up more

info on it?

 

Thankyou,

 

Frank

"Usually" was probably not the smartest way to ask the question.

I am open to any other suggestions on how to overcome this problem (except

for polling though! ;) ).

 

BTW by IPC I mean InterProcess Communication.

You should ask this question in a programmer group.
