Custom Window Messages

[x87Bliss]

how can you make an app be able to send and recieve custom window messages between the windows (or even between two applications assuming you have the appropriate window handle) Can you just use a integer in the Message parameter that isn't already used? If so, what are the ranges of unused window message values? Or do you have to do special code to "register" or w/e the custom window message? Thanks

See here: WM_APP Notification[^] You'll probably want to use RegisterWindowMessage() to get a system-unique message ID if posting between separate processes. Mark

Is custom window messages supported in Window Vista also ? Or any changes in it ?

[Mark Salsbery]

I sure hope so! Otherwise, alot of software will need to be rewritten :)

Have a look at this[^] article. It describes exactly what you should and why you should do it that way.
