SendMessage
函數功能：該函數將指定的消息發送到一個或多個窗口。此函數爲指定的窗口調用窗口程序，直到窗口程序處理完消息再返回。而函數PostMessage不同，將一個消息寄送到一個線程的消息隊列後立即返回。
函數原型：LRESULT SendMessage（HWND hWnd，UINT Msg，WPARAM wParam，LPARAM IParam）；
參數：
hWnd：其窗口程序將接收消息的窗口的句柄。如果此參數爲HWND_BROADCAST，則消息將被髮送到系統中所有頂層窗口，包括無效或不可見的非自身擁有的窗口、被覆蓋的窗口和彈出式窗口，但消息不被髮送到子窗口。
Msg：指定被髮送的消息。
wParam：指定附加的消息指定信息。
IParam：指定附加的消息指定信息。
返回值：返回值指定消息處理的結果，依賴於所發送的消息。
備註：需要用HWND_BROADCAST通信的應用程序應當使用函數RegisterWindowMessage來爲應用程序間的通信取得一個唯一的消息。
如果指定的窗口是由調用線程創建的，則窗口程序立即作爲子程序調用。如果指定的窗口是由不同線程創建的，則系統切換到該線程並調用恰當的窗口程序。線程間的消息只有在線程執行消息檢索代碼時才被處理。發送線程被阻塞直到接收線程處理完消息爲止。
Windows CE：Windows CE不支持Windows桌面平臺支持的所有消息。使用SendMesssge之前，要檢查發送的消息是否被支持。
速查：Windows NT：3.1及以上版本：Windows：95及以上版本；Windows CE：1.0及以上版本；頭文件：winuser.h；輸入庫：user32.lib；Unicode：在Windows NT環境下以Unicode和ANSI方式實現。
SendMessage函數使用實例
程序控制拉下或收起組合框的下拉列來
一般情況下，爲了拉下或收起組合框的下拉列表，需要用鍵盤或鼠標進行操作，而有時我們希望程序運行的某個時刻自動拉出下拉列表（比如在一些演示程序中），爲了實現這個目的，我們也只有藉助於SendMessage函數，方法是發一個CB_SHOWDROPDOWN(&H14F)消息給組合框。
在發CB_SHOWDROPDOWN消息時，wParam參數決定了是拉下列表（=True時）還是收起列表（＝False時），lParam無用（設爲0）。
爲說明具體的使用方法，下面提供簡單的程序片段。首先在代碼模塊中做如下聲明：
Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long,ByVal wMsg As Long，ByVal wParam As Long,lParam As Any) As Long
Const CB_SHOWDROPDOWN=&H14F
當程序中某處需要拉下組合框Combol的列表時，寫如下調用語句：
SendMessage Combol.hwnd,CB_SHOWDROPDOWN,True,0
當需要收起組合框Combol的列表時，寫如下語句：
SendMessage Combol.hwnd,CB_SHOWDROPDOWNN,False,0
The following are the ranges of message numbers.
Range Meaning
0 through WM_USER–1 Messages reserved for use by the system.
WM_USER through 0x7FFF Integer messages for use by private window classes.
WM_APP through 0xBFFF Messages available for use by applications.
0xC000 through 0xFFFF String messages for use by applications.
Greater than 0xFFFF Reserved by the system.
Message numbers in the first range (0 through WM_USER–1) are defined by the system. Values in this range that are not explicitly defined are reserved by the system.
Message numbers in the second range (WM_USER through 0x7FFF) can be defined and used by an application to send messages within a private window class. These values cannot be used to define messages that are meaningful throughout an application, because some predefined window classes already define values in this range. For example, predefined control classes such as BUTTON, EDIT, LISTBOX, and COMBOBOX may use these values. Messages in this range should not be sent to other applications unless the applications have been designed to exchange messages and to attach the same meaning to the message numbers.
Message numbers in the third range (0x8000 through 0xBFFF) are available for application to use as private messages. Message in this range do not conflict with system messages.
Message numbers in the fourth range (0xC000 through 0xFFFF) are defined at run time when an application calls the RegisterWindowMessage function to retrieve a message number for a string. All applications that register the same string can use the associated message number for exchanging messages. The actual message number, however, is not a constant and cannot be assumed to be the same between different sessions.
Message numbers in the fifth range (greater than 0xFFFF) are reserved by the system.

SendMessage函數使用實例
程序控制拉下或收起組合框的下拉列來
一般情況下，爲了拉下或收起組合框的下拉列表，需要用鍵盤或鼠標進行操作，而有時我們希望程序運行的某個時刻自動拉出下拉列表（比如在一些演示程序中），爲了實現這個目的，我們也只有藉助於SendMessage函數，方法是發一個CB_SHOWDROPDOWN(&H14F)消息給組合框。
在發CB_SHOWDROPDOWN消息時，wParam參數決定了是拉下列表（=True時）還是收起列表（＝False時），lParam無用（設爲0）。
爲說明具體的使用方法，下面提供簡單的程序片段。首先在代碼模塊中做如下聲明：
Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long,ByVal wMsg As Long，ByVal wParam As Long,lParam As Any) As Long
Const CB_SHOWDROPDOWN=&H14F
當程序中某處需要拉下組合框Combol的列表時，寫如下調用語句：
SendMessage Combol.hwnd,CB_SHOWDROPDOWN,True,0
當需要收起組合框Combol的列表時，寫如下語句：
SendMessage Combol.hwnd,CB_SHOWDROPDOWNN,False,0
The following are the ranges of message numbers.
Range Meaning
0 through WM_USER–1 Messages reserved for use by the system.
WM_USER through 0x7FFF Integer messages for use by private window classes.
WM_APP through 0xBFFF Messages available for use by applications.
0xC000 through 0xFFFF String messages for use by applications.
Greater than 0xFFFF Reserved by the system.
Message numbers in the first range (0 through WM_USER–1) are defined by the system. Values in this range that are not explicitly defined are reserved by the system.
Message numbers in the second range (WM_USER through 0x7FFF) can be defined and used by an application to send messages within a private window class. These values cannot be used to define messages that are meaningful throughout an application, because some predefined window classes already define values in this range. For example, predefined control classes such as BUTTON, EDIT, LISTBOX, and COMBOBOX may use these values. Messages in this range should not be sent to other applications unless the applications have been designed to exchange messages and to attach the same meaning to the message numbers.
Message numbers in the third range (0x8000 through 0xBFFF) are available for application to use as private messages. Message in this range do not conflict with system messages.
Message numbers in the fourth range (0xC000 through 0xFFFF) are defined at run time when an application calls the RegisterWindowMessage function to retrieve a message number for a string. All applications that register the same string can use the associated message number for exchanging messages. The actual message number, however, is not a constant and cannot be assumed to be the same between different sessions.
Message numbers in the fifth range (greater than 0xFFFF) are reserved by the system.
