SendMessage and/or GetMessage

[PaulZ]

Can anyone tell me how to use SendMessage and GetMessage in a VB.Net program?

GetMessage question:
When my program is running, it must be able to receive a message (sent by a SendMessage from another program) and do something with it (quit, call a function etc). How do I receive this message programmatically?

SendMessage question:
I know how to use the SendMessage to an Editfield, but do I SendMessage to a GetMessage in another program?

I have read somewhat in the MSDN Messages and Message Queues, but that leaves me puzzeled. I do not need working coding from you, but some tips would be nice.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Youll need to use p/invoke.
