Hi,
I have an Application running on Windows Mobile 5.0 device.
I want to pass some commands from one application on this device to another
application on the device.

I learned about Windows messaging, and know i can make an unmanaged call to
postmessage or sendmessage.

[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
public extern static int SendMessage(IntPtr hwnd, uint msg, uint wParam,
uint lParam);
[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
public extern static int PostMessage(IntPtr hwnd, uint msg, uint wParam,
uint lParam);

I want to know how do i read a user message posted to one of the forms in my
application.

Please suggest me if there is any other better way of communicating from one
application to another application.

Thanks in Advance,
Murthy

The definitive list of Inter-process communication methods is in this
two-part article:-

Try adding a reference to Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.

where and you expect someone to help with the specific sample code?

the code you are trying to use) or that you are missing a using directive
for the namespace (that has the code that you are trying to use). Mark has
helped you further. If after adding the reference you still see this error,
then it is the using directive that is missing. Right click on 'Message' and
click "Resolve".

applications. So you can use Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms assembly/namespace.
*Read* the contents of the 4 links from item 3 on the 1st link that Peter
Foot replied with first.

Good luck!
