BroadcastSystemMessage on 95

[Dan Cieslak]

Using Visual C++ 5.0, we have an app that uses BroadcastSystemMessage.

It seems to work fine on NT, but on my 95 box, it complains that

BroadcastSystemMessageA can't be found in user32.dll. Has anyone

encountered this problem? More importantly, has anyone worked around

it?


Apparently it is a known problem (it was in M$'s Knowledge Base),

but I can't seem to open the reference page...


Thanks,

Dan Cieslak

Cant you just use a 0 as your window in SendMessage and have it go

out to everyone, thats how it used to work, but I havnt tried under 95 yet.

Just use PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, , , ).

It works on both 95(98) and NT.
