ok guys, now I'm reeeeally confused!
again forgive the stupid question,
but how come now then, that either
don's function/call, of ;
postMessage(ghVCAMain, 0x10, 0, 0)
or Jim's of,
sendMessage(hwnd, 0x10, 0, 0)
are both presumably valid ways of communicating with the API and presumably
do the same job?
i.e. I can see that the last thre parameters are identical, but, well what
is the difference then, between PostMessage, and SendMessage, for a start.
is there an actual difference?
and secondly, just to clarify, but is don's first parameter, of,
ghVCAMain,
in his version,
just his own customized global version of reference to the window handle of
his own application needs, thus being the same as Jim's, HWnd more general
refference?
just clarifying.
thanks.
