Info about Sendmessage API
The SendMessage function is fairly straight forward. What makes it
complicated is the vast number of messages that you can send to all sorts of
different windows. If you have a full version of VB then you should also
have the MSDN CDs (on which the VB help files live). In them you will find
lots of information about the various messages that all sorts of windows
respond to, although it is not immediately obvious where to look. If you
have installed the MSDN CDs then just use the VB help menu and choose
"contents". Then have a good look through them. For example, the various
messages that relate to the VB Text Box control are cunningly hidden under
Platform SDK / User Interface Services / Controls / Edit Controls / Edit
Control Reference / Edit Control Messages. Also, as is usual with Microsoft,
most of the help is aimed at C++ programmers, but you should be able to
convert the stuff to VB fairly easily.

Actually, I have been looking (rather half heartedly, so far!) for a web
page that gives details of all (or at least most) of the various messages
that are appropriate to VB users, together with VB examples, but I haven't
yet found one. If anyone knows of suxh a thing then maybe you could let the
group know about it.
