You can send messages to applications by using the thread ID of the running process.
In TD the message will be received at the Application Actions section.
Here how to do it.
First declare two WinAPI functions PostThreadMessageA and GetCurrentThreadId.
Library name: USER32.DLL
Function: PostThreadMessageA
Export Ordinal: 0
Returns
Boolean: BOOL
Parameters
Number: DWORD
Number: UINT
Number: WPARAM
Number: LPARAM
Library name: KERNEL32.DLL
Function: GetCurrentThreadId
Export Ordinal: 0

Parameters
Now, here the code to send a message to the Application Actions level:
! Get the thread ID of this running application Set nCurrentThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId( ) ! Send a message to the thread. It will be received in the Application Actions Call PostThreadMessageA( nCurrentThreadID, PAM_AnyMessage, 0, 0 )
