WindowsPipeMBS.Constructor

WindowsPipeMBS.CreatePipe(Name as string, MessageMode as Boolean = false, BufferSize as Integer = &h100000, AllowAllUsers as Boolean = false) as Boolean

Buffersize defines the size for input/output buffers.
Returns true on success or false on failure.
Lasterror is set.

Normally the pipe allows only same user.
But if AllowAllUsers is true, you can talk to other users or from service to user.

If name does not start with \ then we prefix it with "\\.\Pipe\".

Some examples using this method:

• /Win/Windows Pipe

WindowsPipeMBS.OpenPipe(Name as string) as Boolean

Returns true on success or false on failure.
Lasterror is set.

If name does not start with \ then we prefix it with "\\.\Pipe\".
