How to call FindWindow, PostMessage

[AusTrader]

I want to occasionally post a windows message to via PostMessage from my indicator to another window.



How do you call FindWindow and PostMessage from c# in NT7?

Hello AusTrader,

When you mention "from my indicator to another window" are you referring to a new window within NinjaTrader?

Or are you referring to an external application?

I am referring to an external application.

I have now resolved the problem by creating a .NET 3.5 DLL in Visual Studio 2013 to call FindWindow and PostMessage.


It would be cleaner to be able to call it direct from NT7 but this external DLL is working fine.

Much cleaner indeed.

I found this by searching for "C# FindWindow" in Google.

Don't forget to add this,

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

to the top of your code.
