acSendMessage is an very useful function to communicate with the other program, if it can return the correct value from SendMessage call, then it will be more useful, we can get some information from other program, not just send an message.

Now I can only use acRegistryGet... function to exchange information with other program, it is workable, but seems ugly.

Thanks.

Yeah, acSendMessage was a very early function when I was working on creating S+. In hindsight, there was no reason to not simply return whatever SendMessage itself returned. While it is an easy fix, my current PC isn't even set up to build S+ at the moment as I have been inactive in my development due to many other things going on in life, and what time I would have I'd like to devote to the new version of S+.

For my own curiosity and to better understand the kind of things you're doing, would you mind giving me an example of what and how you're communicating back and forth? It will be helpful for to know these specifics for when I do spend time working on S+, to ensure I map out as many things as I can to be able to handle the random things people do.

I find the easy way is:

local alien = alien.core
local mb = alien.load("user32.dll")
SendMessage = mb.SendMessageA

I need to get the cursor type when I right click the mouse.

I sometimes forget that alien can achieve this, haha.
