我这样做:
Public Sub SendMessageToApp(ByVal NombreVentana As String, ByVal Mensaje As String, ByVal sender As Form)
Dim hWnd As IntPtr
Dim mCopyData As COPYDATASTRUCT
hWnd = CType(FindWindow(Nothing, NombreVentana), IntPtr)
Dim message As New System.Text.StringBuilder
If (CInt(hWnd) <> 0) Then
message.Append(Mensaje)
Dim pCopyData As IntPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(message.Length() + 40)
mCopyData.lpData = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(message.ToString)
mCopyData.cbData = message.Length
mCopyData.dwData = CType(_messageID, IntPtr)
Marshal.StructureToPtr(mCopyData, pCopyData, False)
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_COPYDATA, CInt(sender.Handle), pCopyData)
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(mCopyData.lpData)
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(pCopyData)
End If
End Sub
