| WINDOW MESSAGE |

| This plugin can be used to send and receive information from other applications. It can send window messages to other applications and show the result. The plugin can be used for example to control Winamp or some similar media players. WindowName The name of the window. This is used to identify the window. It's not necessary to set this if the WindowClass is set. WindowClass The class of the window. This is used to identify the window. It's not necessary to set this if the WindowName is set. WindowMessage This is the message to be send to the window. You need to define 3 parameters to where the first one is the message and the next ones are wParam and lParam. The values are unsigned decimal integers. The measure returns the value returned by the SendMessage()-function. If the WindowMessage is not given the measure returns the window's current title. It's also possible to send messages to applications with !RainmeterPluginBang. The arguments are similar as in WindowMessages. You need to define the name of the measure (this identifies the window), "SendMessage", the message number and wParam and lParam. See examples below. Examples This returns the name of the song that is playing in Winamp. [MeasureWinamp] Measure=Plugin Plugin=Plugins\WindowMessagePlugin.dll WindowClass=Winamp v1.x Substitute="[Paused]":""," - Winamp":"" Check if Winamp is playing, or not. This returns 0 if it's not playing, 1 if it is playing and 3 if it's paused.

The [MeasureWinampDuration] will return the current song position as a value between 0 and 1. You can use for example the BAR-meter to display the value.
