No, this isn't what I meant. I know some XML, and I agree - it's a great way to create files that can be read by most programming languages.
However, the "file mapping" I'm referring to is a method of storing a block of data in some form of higher memory, I think - not on the hard drive - where other applications can access it. Here is the explanation in the help file of the softwarel:
Quote:
The file mapping commands offer a way of sharing memory between applications. This opens up the possibility of communication between multiple applications on the same computer as data can be shared in memory.
When creating a file map a global, shared amount of memory will be set up in the Operating System. This can then be read and written to by a Dark Basic Professional application. Then either other Dark Basic Professional applications can access the shared memory or applications written in other programming languages that natively support file mapping.

The programming language is Dark Basic Professional - it's a very powerful software, with lots of built-in commands that are simpler than using more traditional programming languages, but its GUI capabilities are greatly lacking, so I was hoping I could integrate it with Visual Basic...
