Remarks

Use the Create method to create a Message structure to wrap a message sent by Windows.

Example

The following code example creates and sends a Windows message with the identifier of WM_CUSTOMMSG. The message is given the handle of a message window, named MsgWin, to which it sends the messages. The message contains values for the WParam and LParam parameters, which in this example are current x and y mouse coordinates as obtained from MouseEventArgs, e, in an OnMouseMove method.

This code example is part of a larger example provided for the MessageWindow component.

 Dim msg As Message = Message.Create(MsgWin.Hwnd, MsgWindow.WM_CUSTOMMSG, New IntPtr(e.X), New IntPtr(e.Y))     MessageWindow.SendMessage(msg) 

 Message msg = Message.Create(MsgWin.Hwnd,     MsgWindow.WM_CUSTOMMSG,     (IntPtr)e.X,     (IntPtr)e.Y);     MessageWindow.SendMessage(ref msg);
