How to use StructToPtr with SendMessage?



In my C# library I have many SendMessages like the following:

[DllImport("user 32.dll", EntryPoint="Sen dMessage",CharS et=CharSet.Auto )]

public static extern int SendMessage(Int Ptr hwnd, int wMsg, int wParam, ref
PARAFORMAT2 pf2);

I use this one like this:

Dim lSelectedParagr aph As PARAFORMAT2

Rtf.SendMessage (gctlText.TxtHa ndle, Rtf.EM_GETPARAF ORMAT, 0,
lSelectedParagr aph)

So that I do not need to define a SendMesage for each usage, I think I could
define:

[DllImport("user 32.dll", CharSet=CharSet .Auto, SetLastError=tr ue)]public
static extern int SendMessage(

IntPtr hWnd, [MarshalAs(Unman agedType.U4)] int Msg,IntPtr wParam, IntPtr
lParam);

Could someone show me how to write the VB SendMessage call that will use
this SendMessage??

I think if I have one example I can figure out how to do the others,

Thanks in advance

Thanks

Hi, As any one worked in VB.NET and made use of Sendmessage API? The Issue I am running into is how to pass pointers of Data Structures (UDT) to the SendMessage. I starting looking at "IntPrt" as a data type but it appears to fall short of using pointer types. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Hi all, I am having trouble converting the code below (found on http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/core/sendmessage.htm) into a format that will work using vb .NET. Can anyone have a look at it and let me know what I need to change. I have tried changing the "hwnd" type into intptr's but there seem to be other problems too, like it won't allow "lParam As Any" to be declared.

When I use the SendMessage API I can sucessfully send and receive a user defined message. When I use the PostMessage API I can NOT sucessfully send and receive the same user defined message.

Hi, My application has a lot of threads which at some point call SendMessage api passing it the handle of the gui window. The calls r a lot. My question is that should I call the SendMessage api by protecting it in a critical section, or the SendMessage api itself handles this kind of situation where a lot of threads in the same process r calling it.
