Jim. may I ask how did you find/know  these values equated to these
sendMessage functions?
? presumably the 0x is indicating the following bites are base 16
hexadecimal values, is this correct? Again, remember I'm very
unknowledgeable, but if this is so, am I correct in divining that each of
these commands, must actually consist of two bites? if that's their proper
terminology?
The WM_SysCommand needing two base 10 values of 1, and 18, and the actual
close command, needing the two base 10 values of 0 and 15?
is this correct?
I haven't done hex conversions for such a long time now! and, is there any
value in learning/knowing their values in base 10, and then just translating
them to hex on the fly, as they are needed? as presumably this is how they
must be entered in the syntax of the sendMessage command structure?
And, on a related note, would you say there are many instances in which
knowing these sendMessage type commands, are particularly useful in
scripting generally?

just curious.

thanks.
