Parameters

Name	Type	Optional	Meaning
hwnd	Number	No	Handle of the dialog you want to send a message to

wParam	Number	No	First parameter. This value is Msg dependant
lParam	Number	No	Second parameter. This value is Msg dependant

By default, thinBasic passes these parameters BYVAL.

If the target dialog is expected to return or alter the values passed in the wParam and lParam parameters, pass them using VARPTR or the return values will be discarded.
