Would it be possible to retrieve the value of a variable?

Not by name, as names are just used by the compiler to distinguish variables. You need to know the variable's memory address, then you can read it with ReadProcessMemory.

Retrieving the value of a variable in VB6 ?
Something like this:

As I have already said before, it's possible, but you can't do it "by name". Use CE to find out the address in which the variable you're interested in is stored, and read that. (Side note: you'll most likely need to use pointers so go through the CE Tutorial if you haven't done so already)

Now I kind of understand this now.

Just create an 2demension Array to store the name & value exp
Dim cnt = 0;


Function addvar(varname,value)
Array[cnt][0] = varname;
Array[cnt][1] = value
cnt + =1;
return cnt; 'The ID of the variable'
End Function

Function getValueByName(varname)
For i...in Array 'search array
if (array[i][0] = varname)
return array[i][1];
end if
Next

Function getValueById(id)
return array[id][1];
Next

Function geNameByID(id)
return array[id][0];
Next



This is pseudo code.. you should easily be able to convert to VB6.

Then he can just link the 2 apps together using a library. When the first application runs, the second application automatically runs.. but the Exe to open the second application is actually an application that makes it visible.............................

Or he could use the localConnection.

Problem solved..
