SendMessageTimeout
The SendMessageTimeout function sends the specified message to a window or windows. The function
calls the window procedure for the specified window and, if the specified window
belongs to a different thread, does not return until the window procedure has
processed the message or the specified time-out period has elapsed. If the window
receiving the message belongs to the same queue as the current thread, the
window procedure is called directly  the time-out value is ignored.
LRESULT SendMessageTimeout(
HWND hWnd,
| // handle of destination window
| UINT Msg,
| // message to send
| WPARAM wParam,
| // first message parameter
| LPARAM lParam,
| // second message parameter
| UINT fuFlags,
| // how to send the message
| UINT uTimeout,
| // time-out duration
| LPDWORD lpdwResult
| // return value for synchronous call
| );
|

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
