 How to broadcast Messages using Windows API Calls?

Hi,

I'm trying to write an application that uses API calls to broadcast
messages to individual users or PC on a network.

I don't want to use Winpopup as I'd like the program to do one
of three things upon receiving a message : Either display the
messaghe, Log out the User, or ShutDown the PC.

Can you provide me with any help on how to Achieve this using API
calls or a similar method?  I'm not sure which API to use or whether
one exists at all?

Cheers.

Use the socket control and do a UPD broadcast.  Than any computer that is
listening on that port will catch that message.
