hi all,
I need some help in Semaphore's. The Semaphore's provided in wxWidgets is only limited to threads.
Does Widgets provides the functionality of semaphore's for different process, Like those in UNIX ?
Regards

Never used them, but after reading the docs: No, they don't.
For interprocess use you need a named mutex, wich is not supported by wx.

With WX? Not that I'm aware of.
Outside of WX? Yeah, many. For starters there's boost::interprocess

There is a section about inter-process communicatiion in the wiki:
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Inter-Thread_ ... munication
I haven't used it so I can't tell if it's correct. But maybe it's a place to start if you still want to stick with wx for this purpose.
