Creating a Message Only Window

[WSCPorts]

a message Only window is a hidden window that can be found by normal means and will not show if @sw_Show sent to it

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
Const $Only_Msgs = 0xfffffffd

Func GetParent($oHwnd)
    $User32 = DllOpen("User32.dll")
    $oParent = DllCall($User32, "hwnd", "GetParent", "hwnd", $oHwnd)
    Return $oParent
    DllClose($User32)
EndFunc

Func SetParent($oHwnd, $nHwnd)
    $User32 = DllOpen("User32.dll")
    $Parent = DllCall($User32, "hwnd", "SetParent", "hwnd", $oHwnd, "hwnd", $nHwnd)
    Return $Parent
    DllClose($User32)
EndFunc

$h_MsgWnd = GUICreate("Unseen Message Window", 100, 100, 440, 440)
SetParent($h_MsgWnd, $Only_Msgs)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $h_MsgWnd); test iT
while(1)
$GuiMsg = GuiGetMsg()
Select 
Case $GuiMsg = $Gui_Event_Close
Exit
EndSelect
Wend

Can anyone think of a use for this ?
