This is a good question because I'm not sure any of those really describes Windows messaging well. Sort of interesting given that it's the primary means of communication in the Windows desktop environment. I guess the rational behind this is that you can't really pass along data across messages, you can pass commands/messages and references. I used to use messages a lot within an application to communicate but it's a bit different when dealing internal to an application because you can pass data by reference easily. Externally, you can only do that if the data is in a place that is accessible to both applications or meets certain restrictions (as described here[^]).
