#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>
_WinAPI_SendMessageTimeout ( $hWnd, $iMsg [, $wParam = 0 [, $lParam = 0 [, $iTimeout = 1000 [, $iFlags = 0]]]] )
| $hWnd | Handle to the window whose window procedure will receive the message. |
| $iMsg | The message to be sent. |
| $wParam | [optional] The message-specific information. |
| $lParam | [optional] The message-specific information. |
| $iTimeout | [optional] The duration, in milliseconds, of the time-out period. If the message is a broadcast message, each window can use the full time-out period. Default is 1000. |
| $iFlags | [optional] The flags that specifies how to send the message. This parameter can be one or more of the following values. $SMTO_BLOCK $SMTO_NORMAL $SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG $SMTO_NOTIMEOUTIFNOTHUNG $SMTO_ERRORONEXIT |

This function does not provide information about individual windows timing out if $HWND_BROADCAST is used.
If times out, function fails. If @extended is $ERROR_TIMEOUT (1460), then the function timed out.
This function considers a thread is not responding if it has not responds within five seconds.
The system only does marshalling for system messages (those in the range 0 to (WM_USER-1)). To send other messages
(those >= WM_USER) to another process, you must do custom marshalling.
