Icons on the status area

[codevisio]

Hi at all, is there a way to send messages from an application A to an other application B? Application A is mine, application B is not mine. Application B has an icon in the status bar. With application A i would like to send messages, like WM_KEYDOWN or right button click, to appliaction B via its icon on the status bar. It is possible? thanks a lot roberto

Sure, but the problem is the HWND from FindWindow is the handle of main application B. If application uses another window associates to at the icon on th status bar? the window that manages messages from mouse (right click and so on)... the HWND of the main application B cannot be the same the window that do this. can help me some shell functions for this? roberto
