SendMessage( hWnd, nMsg, nParam, xParam) -> < nResult >
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARAMETER:
<hwnd> Identifies the window to which the message will be sent.
If this parameter is HWND_BROADCAST ( -1 ), the message
will be sent to all top-level windows, including disabled or
invisible unowned windows.
<nMsg> specifies the message to be sent.
<nparam> first integer message parameter
<xParam> second message parameter, either numeric or string
DESCRIPTION:
SendMessage directs Windows to send a message directly to the given
window procedure, bypassing the application's message queue.
Windows does not return control to the calling application until the
window procedure, that receives the message, processes it or returns
control as a result of a call to the ReplyMessage function.
This is in contrast to the PostMessage function, which posts the
message in the window's message queue and returns immediately.
RETURNS:
When an application transmits a message, it must do so by calling
SendMessage, if the application relies on the ( numeric ) return value
of a message.
The return value of SendMessage is the value returned by the window
procedure ( ::HandleEvent ) that processed the message.
