Передать строки, картинки (streams) между процессами

{
The WM_COPYDATA messages makes it possible to transfer information
between processes. It does this by passing the data through the kernel.
Space is allocated in the receiving process to hold the information that is copied,
by the kernel, from the source process to the target process.
The sender passes a pointer to a COPYDATASTRUCT, which is defined as a structure
of the following:
}
type
TCopyDataStruct = packed record
dwData: DWORD;   // anwendungsspezifischer Wert 
cbData: DWORD;   // Byte-Lдnge der zu ьbertragenden Daten 
lpData: Pointer; // Adresse der Daten 
end;
{ Sender Application }
unit SenderApp;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
StdCtrls, ExtCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
Edit1: TEdit;
Button2: TButton;
Image1: TImage;

procedure Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
