Hi:
One other difference is that:
PostMessage returns after posting the message to the applications message
queue, SendMessage returns when the message is processed by either the window
procedure of the window to which it has been sent or the applications default
window procedure. In short, be careful when using postMessage, as the message
may not be processed until after the function returns.
Hope this helps.
Sean.

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.
