Eh? Do you know what SendMessage does? And what are you trying to do, send those keys to the application?

Well.. I dont really know lol.
Yea, I trying to send those words to the application, and someone told me that I need to use SendMessage.
I've also got this code from API Guide:
| Code: | 'This project needs a ListBox, named List1 and a TextBox, named Text1
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByVal lParam As Any) As Long
Const LB_FINDSTRING = &H18F
Private Sub Form_Load()
'Add some items to the listbox
With List1
.AddItem "Computer"
.AddItem "Screen"
.AddItem "Modem"
.AddItem "Printer"
.AddItem "Scanner"
.AddItem "Sound Blaster"
.AddItem "Keyboard"
.AddItem "CD-Rom"
.AddItem "Mouse"
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Text1_Change()
'Retrieve the item's listindex
List1.ListIndex = SendMessage(List1.hwnd, LB_FINDSTRING, -1, ByVal CStr(Text1.Text))
End Sub
|
I guess the ListBox has the messages which I want to be sent.
But how I choose the target?
If you could explain me a lil better cause I new with API functions, and also new with VB.

it sends a LITERAL message to the handle of a program.
