I am wanting set up a "watchdog" type, timed Powerhome event that sends a message to another windows application (Xlobby) on the same computer (to see if that application is still running/alive).
The target application has triggers that can be set up that will allow it to respond in some manner. From that response (or lack there of), I can deteremine if it is running/Ok.
The target application can trigger off of either: WM_APPCOMMAND, WM_COMMAND, WM_USER or WM_INPUT for the trigger notification type.
For the first three(WM_APPCOMMAND, WM_COMMAND, WM_USER), I need to specify the "WParam" and the "LParam".
If I use the WM_INPUT, I need to specify "Raw Data", "Usage" and "Usage Page".
HERE IS MY QUESTION: what Powerhome formula should I use to send a windows message to one of these Xlobby trigger types so that I can trip the Xlobby trigger?
I would think something like:
ph_postmsg(ph_findwindow("xlobby",1),XXX,YYY,ZZZ)
But I have no idea what the X/Y/Z should be in the powerhome formula. Also, what Xlobby (my target application) trigger notification type should be used (and what would be the right W & LParams be)?
Thanks
Steve
