I've tried the following code

Code: Select all

postMessage, 0x111, 96, 33024, , Adobe Illustrator CS4

but the message received by Illustrator is missing the "33024" value and i'm not sure how to get that to send

code and control id are packed in wParam... where as you are passing code as lparam... lparam needs to be the window handle of the control...

control id and control window handle basically refer to the same control in 2 different ways, it depends on how the code that handle the message the importance of either value, since the first snapshot has 0 for control handle, looks like that value is not used... not exactly sure why Control hWnd is 0x8100 though...
