Notes

This advanced statement is normally used in the Equinox Notification event when the system workarea SysNotifyType is set to -2. Its intended use is for communication with external applications and libraries such as the Calendar Control

If you are writing an external application or library and you wish to trigger Equinox, you will need to follow these guildelines:

  • In the external program, first find the Equinox window handle
  • Use PostMessage or SendMessage (Windows API commands) with a message ID of (WM_USER + 25) and user-defined wParam, lParam
