Hi
I am trying to communicate among applications using windows messages. I do the x=RegisterWindowMessage("XYZ") in both applications.
On one application I do
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, x,(WPARAM)GetHWND(), 0);

and then I want to wait for the response. How to wait for an external windows Message?
I tried this but never takes place:

LRESULT CALLBACK SKTESTE::WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
PromptOK("Hit!");
if(message==x)
{
PromptOK("x message arriving");
return 1;
}

DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}

Thanks a lot

Alex
