guigetmsg... return value?

[Hayly]

I beat my head against my desk over this one. I will explain the problem, then explain why it's a problem.

I need to return a value, when windows sends a message to the gui in autoit, explicitly I need to have the gui wait while I process that message, figure out the return value, poke it back, then continue on. or more precisely, I need the option of returning a value or not.

the reason, is I'm trying to emulate the winamp window, so I can retrieve all commands it would otherwise be sent from a plugin that I cant change. the problem is that while most are direct messages, some require return values, such as version, and the plugin faulters if it doesnt get a logical value, it assumes it has the wrong window

any feedback on how I can either achieve it, or perhaps get it put into the works if it's not an option would be really appreciated!

edit: this thread explains what I'm trying to modify that the plugin uses to control winamp: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=180297

To my knowledge GUIGetMsg() only returns messages related to the script's GUI -- it's not possible to receive and process custom Windows messages.

I'd love to be corrected on this personally.

I'm pretty sure you are right, that's why I brought it up, there are a lot of messages that I'm sure people would love to have access to, and GuiGetMsg is a good function to handle those.
