PostMessage( hWnd, nMsg, nParam, xParam ) -> <lHasBeenPosted>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARAMETER:
<hWnd> handle of the destination window. If this parameter is
HWND_BROADCAST ( -1 ), the message will be posted to all
top-level windows, including disabled or invisible unowned
windows.
<nMsg> message to be posted
<nparam> first integer message parameter
<xParam> second message parameter, either numeric or string
DESCRIPTION:
PostMessage directs Windows to post a message--that is, place the message
in an application's message queue. The PostMessage function immediately
returns control to the calling application, and any action to be carried
out as a result of the message does not occur until the message is read
from the queue.
PostMessage returns immediately after sending the message, so its return
value is only a Boolean value indicating whether the message was
successfully placed in the queue and does not indicate how the message
was processed.
