Tips & Tricks:
Please add some!
Sample Code:
A wrapper for PostMessage looking for errors:
int PostMessageSafe( HandleRef hWnd, uint msg, intPtr wParam, intPtr lParam )
{
bool returnValue = PostMessage( hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam );
if( returnValue == false )
{
// An error occured
throw new Win32Exception( Marshal.GetLastWin32Error() );
}
return returnValue;
}
