Send & Post API

[Muhammad Tariq]

Hi,
I am a student and I am leraning VB by myself. I have a problem. I don't
know how to use SEND & POST Window API functions. Will you please give me
the information about this topic more over please give the web site addresses
where I can get the required information. I am interested the that part of
the Send & Post of Window API functions that change the fornt end i.e. the
outlook of the window (just like Window Blind). I have a program that change
the Start Button Image. But there is a problem in it. It can't rebuild the
origional Start Button Image and secondly I want to change the other controls
of the Windows like Max, Min, Cancel, Buttons, Toolbar, etc. Kindly give
me suggestions as soon as possible. I will be waiting for your mail.
Muhammad Tariq.

Could it be that you are referring to the SendMessage and PostMessage APIs?

In VB, most changes to the window are made via properties. Why don't you
simply explain exactly what it is that you want to accomplish?
