    SendMessage to 16bit program

    Hello,
    Is it possible using VC2005 in WinXP to send message (with SendMessage) to another 16bit program?
    Thank You!

    What type of 16-bit program? Windows supports:
    1. DOS real-mode 16 bit code.
    2. OS/2 protected mode 16 bit code.
    3. Windows protected mode 16 bit code.

    The third would probably be able to receive certain types of messages from a 32-bit application. OS/2 applications MAY be possible, but I doubt it, and there is no chance on a 16-bit DOS mode applicaiton.

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

    It's the third type. It's a Windows3.1 16bit application.
