Need Help with Windows Messages

[Brien King]

I would like to allow other applications to send my application (via Windows
Messages) a string and based on the content of that string I want to return
an integer response.

I figured I would use WM_USER and intercept that in the WndProc sub of the
Form.

However, there are two things I'm not sure how to do.

1) How do I get the text value from the lParam?
2) How do I return a response code since it's a Sub?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check out the method's 'm' parameter. This parameter provides properties to
get 'lParam' and set a return value.
