Yes, the first parameter is for the window handle to send the message to.
In my case, ghVCAMain is the global variable I use in the Verizon Call
Assistant (VCA) application for the Main window. the only difference I know
of between SendMessage and PostMessage is the superficial difference that
SendMessage returns an integer value.
